What started as a simple feature in a Rock-Paper-Scissors game (tracking the most common move) quickly revealed a classic performance pitfall. Here's how I refactored a inefficient O(n) approach into a snappy O(1) solution.

Choosing the right development stack is a thoughtful decision. While selecting the right stack might not offer immediate, tangible benefits, picking the wrong one can lead to significant challenges. I learned this the hard way, and my advice is clear: don't marry Next.js. My initial foray into Next.js, a proof of concept, failed miserably. Though I had some React experience, I was still searching for the ideal frontend framework. I explored Svelte, but was put off by .svelte file extensions, the need to explicitly declare lang="ts" in every TypeScript block, and the co-mingling of TS and HTML in the same file. The ongoing transition from Svelte 4 to 5, with significant changes and deprecations on the horizon, also contributed to my decision to eliminate it as a contender – a decision I now…  ( 5 min )

What a day. I spent over 5 hours just trying to install Git. Not because it’s super complicated — but because my laptop is slow, my internet is slower, and everything just felt like it was moving in slow motion. It was frustrating, but I finally got it done. That one task pushed me to 25% of The Odin Project’s Foundations course. It’s a small step, but it feels huge right now. After that, I looked at the next topic: Git Basics. And wow... it’s a lot. There’s so much reading, understanding, and hands-on stuff. I could tell right away I’d need a fresh, rested brain to tackle it — and today was definitely not that day. To be honest, I’m completely drained. My sleep schedule is all over the place. I barely know what day it is anymore. I even missed my Duolingo streak — opened the app and it hit me: I try to plan things, but it’s hard. Everything takes longer than expected, and I get distracted so easily. I don’t even take real breaks — I just lose track of time, then remember I needed a break hours later. Today was one of those days where ADHD really got in the way. Anyways, I’m not going to beat myself up over it. Some days are just rough. Some days all you can do is one thing — and that’s okay. I did what I could. Tomorrow, I’ll come back to it with a clearer head (hopefully after some actual sleep). And if you're going through something similar — just know you're not alone.  ( 3 min )

In software engineering, validation is an essential step, especially when handling user input or ensuring compliance with business rules. Although it’s common to use exceptions to signal errors, this approach can be ineffective for expected issues, such as empty fields or invalid formats. The Notification Pattern addresses this problem by collecting all errors in a notification object, allowing them to be handled in a structured way and presented to the user clearly and efficiently. The Notification Pattern is a design strategy that collects validation errors rather than throwing exceptions immediately. It allows your application to gather multiple issues in one go and report them collectively, which is especially useful when validating complex domain objects. This approach provides users …  ( 5 min )

Advanced Techniques in JavaScript Debugging with Node Inspector Debugging is the meticulous process of identifying and resolving errors or issues in software. In the realm of JavaScript, particularly in a server-side context using Node.js, debugging can be dense due to the asynchronous nature inherent in JavaScript. Node Inspector is an invaluable tool that enhances the debugging experience by offering a visual interface to browse through the code, set breakpoints, and call stack inspection. In this exhaustive exploration, we will delve into the historical and technical contexts of debugging in JavaScript, provide complex scenarios and edge cases, explore real-world use cases, and discuss optimization strategies and potential pitfalls.

I’ll admit it—I used to be one of those “JavaScript is fine” people. You know the type. Swagger in their Git commits, proud of debugging with console.log, and allergic to any. I thought TypeScript was just unnecessary ceremony. I told myself I was moving faster by skipping types. Then I built something that mattered. It started with a side project that slowly turned into a real product—users, edge cases, customer feedback, weird data coming from APIs I didn’t fully control. The codebase ballooned. Adding a single new feature felt like playing Jenga with a blindfold. I dreaded refactoring. And the bugs... they weren’t even clever. Just dumb little things that static types would’ve caught in seconds. So I gave in. I installed TypeScript. At first, it was annoying. I’ll be honest. Type errors…  ( 4 min )

We’ve all seen the hype: AI tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini Code Assist, Meta Code Llama, and Replit AI promise to turn anyone into a 10x developer overnight. But if you’ve actually tried building something original—especially as a beginner—you know the truth: 👉 AI-generated code often falls short, and relying on it blindly can lead to frustration. The Hard Truth About AI Coding Assistants 1️⃣ They Struggle with Unique Projects A 2024 Stanford study found that while AI can help with boilerplate code, it still struggles with complex, novel tasks. If your project isn’t a clone of existing tutorials, expect to debug more than you generate. 2️⃣ Debugging Isn’t Automated (Yet) According to the 2024 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 79% of developers still manually debug AI-generated code—showing some progress, but manual debugging remains the norm. 3️⃣ You Still Need Fundamentals Even Google’s AI lead, Jeff Dean, admits: “AI can help write code, but it can’t replace understanding how code works.” If you don’t know why something fails, you’re stuck. So, Should You Use AI for Coding? ✅ Yes, as a helper—for repetitive tasks, syntax suggestions, or learning. ❌ No, as a replacement—because when the AI gets confused (and it will), you need to step in. The Bottom Line AI is a powerful tool, but real coding skill comes from practice, problem-solving, and patience. The sooner you embrace the grind, the better developer you’ll become.

TL;DR: Pandemic Studios actually kicked off Star Wars Battlefront 3 right after Battlefront II, dreaming up cool next-gen features like seamless space-to-ground combat. But LucasArts insisted on a one-year turnaround to hit marketing beats for Episode III—and with new PS3/Xbox 360 hardware in play, Pandemic couldn’t nail down the tech fast enough. Negotiations stalled, the project died, and LucasArts handed development (and eventual cancellation) over to Free Radical Design. In the end Pandemic folded in 2009, BF3 never saw the light of day, and EA’s rebooted Battlefront II (2017) remains the closest thing fans have to a sequel.  ( 3 min )

A former Battlefront 2 dev, Mats Helge Holm, says he and “many” of his ex-DICE colleagues would love to “get the gang back together” to build Star Wars Battlefront 3—especially after a surprise resurgence of interest on Reddit and TikTok. Despite EA ending support for the 2017 game in 2020, fans have flocked back and reignited hopes for a proper follow-up. Battlefront 2 famously stumbled at launch thanks to aggressive microtransactions (you needed around 40 hours of playtime just to unlock one hero), but EA pulled the loot crates after a massive backlash—reportedly even Disney got involved. The overhaul paid off: the game now enjoys a passionate community, gorgeous visuals, smooth gameplay and all its best heroes available for free.  ( 3 min )

Games Workshop is riding a major Warhammer high, handing out £20 million (about $27 million) in bonuses to its roughly 1,500 staff (around £13,300 each) after another blockbuster year. Over the 52 weeks to June 1, 2025, core revenue jumped to £560 million (from £494.7 m) and licensing revenue climbed to £50 million (from £31 m), pushing pretax profits up to £255 million (from £203 m). While the company’s bread-and-butter remains its iconic tabletop miniatures, it’s increasingly cashing in on IP—video games like Space Marine 2 (and a Space Marine 3 in the works), Amazon’s Secret Level animation, and a Henry Cavill–fronted Warhammer 40K cinematic universe deal. Licensing hit record highs this year (though it may ease off next), but with fresh Warhammer Skulls announcements (hello, Dawn of War Definitive Edition and Space Marine 2’s Siege Mode), the 40K juggernaut shows no signs of slowing.  ( 3 min )

Let's crack open that EF Core mystery: Why does AddAsync() exist when there's no UpdateAsync() or RemoveAsync()? Feels like unfair treatment, right? Spoiler: It’s not favoritism—it’s about async value generation, not database calls. Let’s break it down. AddAsync() does NOT talk to your database. Nope, not even a little. When you write: await db.Users.AddAsync(user); Zero bytes hit the database. All it does is tell EF: "Track this new entity; insert it later when I save." The actual INSERT happens at SaveChangesAsync(). So why Async? 🤔 Imagine your entity needs a unique ID before saving, like a distributed Snowflake ID from an external service: public class Order { public long Id { get; set; } // Generated by a fancy async service! public string Customer { get; set; } } You…  ( 4 min )

Fortnite has finally busted back onto the iOS App Store after a five-year ban, thanks to a court order from Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers forcing Apple to reinstate the game—or prove a legal reason not to. Epic had submitted Fortnite for review only to be stonewalled by Apple until the judge stepped in; within 24 hours of her ruling, the battle royale was back on iPhones. Epic didn’t go it alone, though. Microsoft filed an amicus brief backing Epic (it’s itching to launch an Xbox mobile store and hates Apple’s in-app purchase rules), and Spotify, Meta and X chimed in too—Spotify even became the first big name to roll out external payment links once Apple was compelled to allow them. All that courtroom tag-teaming means the saga is winding down, and U.S. players can jump into Fortnite on iOS again.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: After riding high on the success of Star Wars Battlefront I & II, Pandemic Studios quietly kicked off a third instalment—only to have LucasArts demand another one-year turnaround on next-gen consoles (PS3/Xbox 360). Pandemic barely got off the ground before negotiations stalled; shifting hardware, unknown dev tools and tight marketing beats meant they simply couldn’t hit Lucasfilm’s timeline. Rumours of epic space-to-ground battles (think seamless dogfights that drop you onto the battlefield) never made it past tech demos. Free Radical Design later picked up the baton and reached 95% completion, but that version was also canned. As Pandemic’s doors closed in 2009, it became clear: a true Battlefront III was never meant to be—at least not on anyone’s schedule.  ( 3 min )

Hey everyone 👋 I’m a 2023 Computer Science graduate. I started off as a backend developer at a startup, but due to financial needs, I later took up a non-tech role at Amazon. Tried switching internally — didn’t work out. Like many, I turned to DSA prep to get back into tech, but it’s super competitive out there. Recently, I discovered Salesforce and it really caught my interest. It’s technical, structured, and I like that it’s tied to solving real business problems. The only concern? I’ve been hearing that Salesforce roles are becoming saturated, especially for freshers or newcomers trying to break in. I genuinely love working with technology, regardless of the platform. Just trying to figure out if Salesforce is a smart move at this point or if I should continue focusing on traditional dev paths. If you’ve made the switch or know someone who did, I’d really appreciate your thoughts! Thanks in advance! 🙏  ( 3 min )

In JavaScript, event handling functions like click and others are commonly used to interact with HTML elements. Here's a breakdown of the .click() function and other similar event-related functions: .click() Function The .click() method programmatically triggers a click event on an element. document.getElementById("myButton").click(); // Simulates a click But normally, we use .addEventListener() or onclick to respond to a real user click. Click Me document.getElementById("myButton").addEventListener("click", function () { alert("Button clicked!"); }); Common Event Listener Functions You can handle many types of events using .addEventListener(): Event Type Description click Fires when an element is clicked dblclick Fires on double-click mouseover Fires when the mouse is over an element mouseout Fires when the mouse leaves an element mousedown Fires when mouse button is pressed mouseup Fires when mouse button is released mousemove Fires when the mouse moves keydown Fires when a keyboard key is pressed keyup Fires when a keyboard key is released input Fires when the value of changes change Fires when input or select changes submit Fires when a form is submitted load Fires when the page or image is fully loaded scroll Fires when an element is scrolled Basic Example document.getElementById("nameInput").addEventListener("input", function (event) { document.getElementById("output").textContent = "You typed: " + event.target.value; }); Shorthand onclick Method Instead of .addEventListener, you can also directly assign a function: document.getElementById("myButton").onclick = function () { alert("Clicked via onclick"); };  ( 3 min )

Great! You're learning JavaScript, especially about local variables and the DOM (Document Object Model)—those are essential concepts in web development. Here's a simple blog-style explanation to help reinforce your learning: In JavaScript, a local variable is a variable that is declared inside a function or block, and it can only be used within that function or block. function greet() { let message = "Hello, world!"; console.log(message); } greet(); // Outputs: Hello, world! console.log(message); // ❌ Error! 'message' is not defined outside the function let message = "Hello, world!" is a local variable, so you cannot use it outside the greet() function. DOM stands for Document Object Model. It represents the structure of a web page as a tree of objects in JavaScript. With the DOM, you can: Read or change content Change styles (CSS) Add or remove HTML elements Original Text Click Me function changeText() { let element = document.getElementById("demo"); element.innerHTML = "Text has been changed!"; } When the button is clicked: JavaScript finds the tag with id="demo" Changes its content to "Text has been changed!" 🛠️ Why It Matters Local variables help avoid bugs by keeping variables where they belong. The DOM lets you make web pages interactive—like showing messages, changing colors, or responding to clicks. Would you like a small project to practice with these concepts?  ( 3 min )

🚀 What if building a 🐍 Snake game was as easy as typing a sentence into your terminal? That’s exactly what I did with Amazon Q Developer CLI — and it completely changed how I approach side projects 🤯. I created a colorful, classic Snake game in Python with a grid-based layout, food generation, a snake that changes colors every few seconds, score tracking, and a game-over screen with a restart option. All of it was generated and iterated on using nothing but conversational prompts. Here’s how I did it. To get started, I first installed WSL on my Windows machine and set up Ubuntu: wsl --install -d Ubuntu wsl -d Ubuntu sudo apt install unzip curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://desktop-release.codewhisperer.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/latest/q-x86_64-linux-musl.zip -o q.zip   q login "Create a classic colorful snake game in Python using pygame. The game should have a grid, food, colorful snake, score, and end screen." "Make the snake colorful with changing colors every few seconds." https://github.com/akanksha3012/snake_game_QCLI) Faster prototyping. Clear, readable code. Built-in error resolution. And best of all — no constant context-switching or documentation rabbit holes. Just a focused, fluid development experience. It made me think: 1. What else could I build this way?   Amazon Q CLI isn’t just a tool — it’s a shift in how we can bring ideas to life faster and smarter.   Have you tried it yet? What other classic games could you reimagine using AI-assisted coding?  ( 3 min )

🔹 What is a Local Variable in JavaScript? A local variable is one that is declared inside a function or block and is only accessible within that function or block. You can declare a local variable using let, const, or var inside a function or block: let or const (block-scoped, preferred): ```java script example(); console.log(local Variable); // ❌ Error: local Variable is not defined #### Using `var` (function-scoped): ```java script function example Var() { var local Var = 'I am local'; console.log(local Var); // I am local } example Var(); console.log(local Var); // ❌ Error: local Var is not defined let vs var let and const have block scope. var has function scope (not block-level), so it behaves differently in loops or conditionals. ```java script console.log(bl…  ( 4 min )

AI agents As a software developer, I create scripts and applications to automate the tedious parts of my job - and my life. Rather than tools in a tool belt, I have always thought of these apps as a menagerie of creatures. Each has its own abilities. To solve a problem, I can simply select one and unleash it on the world, where it can run along and do my bidding. In our modern world of AI agents, this fantasy of mine has grown more real. AI is now at the point where these little minions can each be imbued with their own intelligence. Any one of us can have our own digital workforce acting on our behalf. Any one can control their own menagerie of AI agents. At work, we create agents using frameworks like LangGraph.

In this blog, I’ll walk you through the complete process of creating a React app, containerizing it with Docker, and deploying it to a Kubernetes cluster using Minikube. Let's dive in! Step 1: Creating a New React App First, I created a new React application using the create-react-app tool: npx create-react-app testapp During the creation, I saw some deprecation warnings about certain Node modules. This is because create-react-app is deprecated, but it’s still usable for learning purposes. After the installation, the app was created in the testapp folder. I confirmed this by checking that these scripts were available: npm start – to start the development server. npm run build – to create a production build. npm test – to run tests.

Instead of: 💬 "We need to refactor this technical debt." Try this: 💡 "This takes 3 extra days now but saves 2 days on every future feature. We break even after the second feature." Initial Investment ÷ Time Saved per Cycle = Break-even Point For example: "This refactor takes 3 extra days now, but it saves 2 days on every future feature. That means we break even after feature two—and save time from then on."* Product managers think in timelines and ROI, not architecture. Give them numbers they can actually use to make business decisions. In your next planning meeting, translate one technical decision into time/cost terms instead of just calling it “debt.” It shifts the conversation from “please trust us” to “here’s the business case.” 👉 What's your go-to phrase for explaining tech tradeoffs to non-devs?  ( 3 min )

Written by Temitope Oyedele✏️ Next.js middleware lets you run code before a request finishes and update the response. Alongside Edge Functions, it's a powerful tool that enables developers to achieve enhanced functionality and performance. Middleware was introduced in Next.js v12 and has been improved in consecutive versions. Starting with Next.js v13, middleware can be used to respond directly to requests without going through the route handler. This can improve performance and security. Middleware can also be used to work with Vercel Edge Functions. Edge Functions allow you to run code at the network's edge. So, in this post, we’ll learn how middleware works with Edge Functions and why it’s important to know. Now, let’s get started! Middleware in Next.js is a piece of code that allows y…  ( 12 min )

AI platforms are great at building functional apps quickly, but they often skip basic security measures. Here are five copy-paste prompts that will add essential security to any AI-generated application. The Problem: AI platforms rarely validate user input properly, leaving your app vulnerable to injection attacks. Copy this prompt: Add input validation to all forms that: - Removes HTML tags and script elements from text inputs - Validates email formats before saving - Limits text input length to reasonable maximums - Escapes special characters in database queries - Shows specific error messages for invalid input What this prevents: XSS attacks, SQL injection, and data corruption from malicious or malformed input.

JavaScript is one of the most popular and powerful programming languages used to create interactive websites and web applications. Types of JavaScript Variables Functions Concatenation Return statements Calling Functions 🧩 1. Types in JavaScript JavaScript supports several data types, which can be grouped into two categories: These are the basic types: String: Text. Example: "Hello" Number: Numeric values. Example: 42, 3.14 Boolean: true or false Null: A deliberate non-value Undefined: A variable that has been declared but not assigned Symbol: Unique values (advanced) BigInt: Large integers (new in ES2020) let name = "Sivasankari"; // String 🔸 Non-Primitive Types Object Array Function let person = { name: "Sivasankari", age: 23 }; // Object 🧪 2. Variables in JavaScript Variables store data values. In modern JavaScript, we use: let: Block-scoped variable (preferred) const: Block-scoped, constant value var: Function-scoped (older and less recommended) let city = "Coimbatore"; 🔧 3. Functions in JavaScript Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform a task. Here's how to declare and use them: function greet() { greet(); // Call the function Parameters and Arguments function greetUser(name) { greetUser("Alice"); // Output: Hello, Alice! 🔗 4. Concatenation in JavaScript Concatenation means combining strings. let firstName = "Siva"; 🎁 5. Return Statement The return keyword gives back a result from a function. function add(a, b) { let sum = add(10, 5); // sum is 15 If you don't use return, the function will return undefined by default. 📞 6. Calling Functions Once a function is defined, you can call or invoke it by using its name followed by parentheses (). function sayHello() { sayHello(); // Output: Hello! 🏁 Conclusion JavaScript is a powerful language, but understanding these fundamentals — types, variables, functions, return statements, concatenation, and function calls — is a solid first step.  ( 3 min )

Hey devs! 👋 Alpha Bomb — a fast-paced typing defense game built in Godot. If you like games that test your reflexes and improve your typing, you’ll enjoy this one. 😄 🎮 What Is Alpha Bomb? Imagine this: You're defending a city from falling bombs. Each bomb has a single alphabet letter. To destroy the bomb? Type that letter before it hits the ground. If you miss too many, your city starts to crumble... It’s simple, addictive, and fun — with a retro vibe and an educational twist. 🔗 Play Now: https://playhvn.itch.io/alpha-bomb By Studio: PlayHvn 🛠️ How I Built It (Using Godot!) As a huge fan of open-source engines, I chose Godot for this project — and it was a blast! Here are some behind-the-scenes highlights: 💡 Typing Mechanics Using InputEventKey in Godot, I mapped each falling bomb’s letter to real-time keyboard inputs. This gave the game a responsive and satisfying feel — every keystroke is a mini victory. 🎯 Collision & Timing Each bomb is a node that tracks its vertical movement. If it reaches the bottom and hasn't been typed, the game deducts health from the city. Managing performance with dozens of bombs onscreen taught me a lot about optimization and pooling. 🔊 Sound & Feedback I used subtle sound cues and explosions to reward correct typing, and dramatic screen shakes when the city takes damage. Feedback = immersion. 💥 Why I Made This Game I wanted to: Practice real-time input handling Build something fast and replayable Create a game that’s fun but also boosts typing skills 💬 What I’d Love From You If you play the game, I’d genuinely appreciate: ✅ Feedback on difficulty, pacing, or ideas 🙌 Let’s Connect Made by PlayHvn 👉 Try It Now: https://playhvn.itch.io/alpha-bomb Thanks for reading, and let me know what you are building in Godot! 🚀  ( 3 min )

Large language models are used widely across the industry these days. Yet still, many people are skeptical about their capabilities as they are quite prone to hallucination. For that reason, in this article, I decided to use LLM in a case where there are no incorrect answers: generating artistic text. However, even in the case of art which is highly subjective, there are still some quality gates (or shall I say personal preferences?). So how do I trick a model into generating text that suits my artistic taste? While prompt engineering can get you this far, I decided to provide LLM with data that would represent my view of fine art. For this, purpose I decided to try out Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture. You can take a look at the entire code in this repository RAG is a tec…  ( 5 min )

From Vec to Slice: Writing Generic Functions over Collections When writing Rust code, one of the most important lessons to learn is how to make your functions flexible and reusable. A common mistake among Rust newcomers (and even seasoned developers) is writing functions that are overly specific—for instance, functions that accept a Vec when they could work just as well with a &[T]. This subtle but powerful change can make your code more versatile and easier to use. In this blog post, we’ll explore why writing functions over slices is often preferable to writing functions over concrete collections like Vec. You’ll learn how to replace &Vec with &[T], the advantages of this approach, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Whether you’re tackling algorithm implementations or designing API…  ( 5 min )

Too many founders jump into building their MVP with excitement—and end up rebuilding it again, just a few weeks later. Why? Because they started coding (or no-coding) before scoping. At Prime Dev, I help founders avoid that mistake by doing one thing first: 👉 We define what matters before we build anything. Instead of asking “What’s the one thing our app must do on day one?”, founders often ask: “What features should we add?” “Can we build a dashboard?” “What if users want X too?” This leads to bloated MVPs, longer timelines, and wasted budget. Before you touch Glide, Webflow, or custom code—ask: Who is using this? What exactly do they want to achieve? What’s the one action they need to do successfully? What’s absolutely critical for them to get value? From there, your MVP is obvious. A founder I worked with wanted to build a full platform for tracking expenses via banking APIs. We scoped it down to a simple budgeting app that accepts uploaded CSVs first, saving 6+ weeks of development and letting users onboard faster. The feedback? “This is exactly what I needed. I would have never used the full version yet.” [ ] Who is the one user we’re targeting? [ ] What is the one action that gives them value? [ ] What is the smallest feature set that makes that action possible? [ ] What can wait for version 2? If you can check those four, you’re ready to build. I specialize in no-code MVPs using Glide and Webflow. But before we build, I help you scope your MVP like a product manager—not just a developer. From idea to launch in weeks Based on what users actually need Built lean, tested early I help founders scope and build no-code MVPs with speed and clarity. 👉 Book a free MVP strategy call: https://calendly.com/samir-prime-dev/30min 💬 Connect on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/samir-adel 🐦 DM me on X: x.com/samircs Let’s save your time, budget, and momentum before you waste it.  ( 3 min )

In today’s web, real-time features like live chat, notifications, and multiplayer games are everywhere. But how do these apps update instantly — without needing to refresh the page? The secret is WebSockets — a powerful technology that lets the browser and server talk to each other instantly. In this beginner-friendly guide, we’ll explain what WebSockets are, when to use them, and how to build a tiny real-time app to see them in action. WebSockets let your browser and server send messages back and forth over a single, always-open connection. Compare that to regular HTTP: Protocol Behavior HTTP Client sends a request → Server responds. Then it’s over. WebSocket Connection stays open → Client & Server can send messages anytime. Why is that cool? Use WebSockets when your app needs…  ( 4 min )

Let’s say you’re building a feature that consumes data from a backend API, but: The backend isn’t ready yet You’re having CORS issues, and the backend developer took a sick day :( You’re on a tight deadline In most cases, you might just mock the data using a single constant. But there’s a better approach. MSW works by intercepting actual network requests at the service worker level. What does that means? Your application thinks it’s communicating with a real API Your mocks work both in the browser and in tests You can simulate everything from successful responses to errors, timeouts, and more. This is very important I can tell that it’s the closest thing…  ( 5 min )

TL;DR: A Web3 job offer from a legitimate-looking (but hacked) LinkedIn account led to a GitHub repo with a Node.js backend. A bootstrap.js file in this backend was designed to dynamically fetch and execute obfuscated malware from a remote server. The malware aimed to scan my system for sensitive data (wallets, .env files, documents, browser passwords), steal clipboard content, exfiltrate findings, and install a remote shell backdoor. The "recruiter" later messaged me saying their account was hacked. This is a stark reminder: verify everything, even from seemingly trusted sources, and always isolate unknown code.

The Sad Reality Behind @Threads: Fake Users and Fading Popularity Meta, the social media giant behind Facebook and Instagram, has a long history of leveraging its existing platforms to push new apps. Threads was no different. By auto-connecting Instagram followers, it gave the impression of an instant, bustling community. However, much of this community turned out to be artificial — accounts created en masse, often bots or ghost profiles designed to inflate user metrics. This tactic, while perhaps effective at first glance, undermines the very essence of social media: authentic, meaningful interactions. Why do fake users matter so much? Because they distort the ecosystem. When an app’s “user base” is bloated with bots, the number of real conversations shrinks. Genuine users find fewer real…  ( 4 min )

Imagine your application isn't just one piece of software, but a team of services – like a web frontend, a database, and a backend API. Each of these might need its own Docker container. This is where Docker Compose comes in. It's a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Instead of manually starting each container with complex docker run commands and linking them, you describe your entire application stack in a single docker-compose.yml file. Think of Docker Compose as the conductor of your container orchestra. You define your services (like the web app, database, and message queue), their configurations, how they connect, and their dependencies in this YAML file. Then, with a single command (docker compose up), Docker Compose reads this file and spins up, conne…  ( 4 min )

Structure is more than just file organization in any expanding React application; it's about building a scalable, maintainable framework on which developers may build. Bad architectural choices can result in needless complexity, repeated code, and longer development cycles as teams grow and codebases change. Even basic functionality may become challenging to build, debug, or test in the absence of a defined structure. Early implementation of a strong design helps avoid these problems and positions your project for long-term success. It is important to lay a strong foundation with appropriate tooling and environment settings before developing any application code. Repetitive checks are automated and mistakes are avoided early by setting up tools like Husky for git hooks, Prettier for unifo…  ( 7 min )

When you build a website, you have to choose how pages are displayed to users. For this many people turn to two different paths and those are Client-side Rendering (CSR) and Server-side Rendering (SSR). They can improve your site’s loading time and affect how Google and similar search engines see your site and how people use the website. Next.JS which is a popular React framework, makes things simpler to use any of these. These concepts are explained clearly in this blog, along with a brief FAQ sections to clear up doubts that many of you might have. Rendering is similar to showing your code as a picture that appears on users’ screens. It can occur in two different locations. Server: A machine in another location that makes the page for you. Client: The browser such as Chrome or Firefox, …  ( 5 min )

Your AI agent works perfectly in development. You've tested the reasoning chains, the tool integrations are solid, and the responses are exactly what users need. Then you deploy to production and everything breaks. The timeout kills your multi-step workflows after 15 minutes. Your bundle exceeds the 250MB limit because you need scikit-learn, pandas, and a vector database client. Cold starts take 6+ seconds while your models load, making real-time interactions impossible. Sound familiar? You're not alone. One developer working on an e-commerce recommendation engine discovered that "scikit-learn and pandas libraries increased the size of my deployment package beyond the AWS Lambda package limits." Another found their TensorFlow model loading caused API calls to timeout after 29 seconds. Here…  ( 8 min )

You're not Beyoncé, but you should treat your talk deserves a tour I’m a Beyoncé fan. I’m not going to argue with you online, but I’m going to every concert. When I was younger, my sisters and I would dance to “Ego” while my mom was out grocery shopping. The second we heard the door open, we’d scramble to turn off on-demand music videos on TV and pretend we were studying. (My middle sister now claims she never wanted to dance with us, but I'm a bossy big sister, so she had no choice). My husband is also a huge Beyoncé fan. Since we’ve had enough money and a license, he’s brought me to all of her concerts. I’m currently reading Matriarch, her mom’s memoir. Beyoncé is a source of inspiration.

Another Wednesday, another mini-tutorial! Today, we’re doing something super practical: adding a QR code to your website. Because sometimes, sharing a link the old-school way just doesn’t cut it. Quick answer: they’re easy, mobile-friendly and just cool. QR codes let users scan and go; they could scan a contact form, app download or your portfolio link, Scan Me! That’s your placeholder. Now let’s generate the actual QR code. We’ll use a popular lightweight library called QRCode.js. You can include it via CDN: Now generate the QR code and target the #qrcode div: const qrcode = new QRCode(document.getElementById("qrcode"), { text: "https://your-link-here.com", width: 128, height: 128, colorDark: "#000000", colorLight: "#ffffff", correctLevel: QRCode.CorrectLevel.H }); Replace the text value with the link you want users to scan. Here’s a little CSS to centre the QR code and keep things neat: body { font-family: sans-serif; background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #333; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } .card { background: #ffffff; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); padding: 2rem; width: 300px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; align-items: center; } #qrcode { margin-top: 1rem; } Feel free to customise it, round corners, borders, drop shadows, etc... You now have a working QR code on your site! Check it out in this Codepen Let users generate QR codes dynamically by typing a URL and clicking a button. Wanna see that next Wednesday? Let me know!

Your servers are spiking and you need to be able to cope without breaking the bank. Let’s move you to the cloud, where you can deal with your new demand with cost-effective ease. A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is essentially your own private network slice within the cloud, fully isolated from other tenants. Inside a VPC, you get to define your IP address ranges, create public and private subnets, and set up route tables and internet or virtual private gateways to control traffic flows. Setting up is important. Instead of hosting your servers in a flat network, it’s best to have a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud). This will create a secure environment where it’s much easier to get your servers talking to each other without being at risk of lateral attacks. First, select the VPC tab under Networki…  ( 5 min )

Hello Devs! ✌️ In today’s session, we’re diving deeper into JavaScript fundamentals. If you’re just getting started, this will help set a solid base. Let’s break it down simply. 📌 Datatypes: JavaScript has different types of data you can work with. The most common are: • String→ text → "Hello World" Number → numbers → 42, 3.14 Boolean → true/false → true, false Undefined→ no value assigned Null → intentionally empty Object → key-value pairs → {name: "Alex"} Array→ list of items → [1, 2, 3] ⮞ Example: let name = "Alex"; // string let age = 25; // number let isStudent = true; // boolean 📌 Variables: We store data in variables. In modern JS, we mostly use: •let → value can change const→ value cannot change (constant) ⮞ Example: let city = "New York"; city = "London"; // this works const country = "USA"; // country = "Canada"; // ❌ error 📌 Functions A function is a reusable block of code that performs a task. ⮞ Example: function greet() { console.log("Hello!"); } We call or invoke a function like this: greet(); // Output: Hello! 📌 Return & Arguments Functions can take arguments (inputs) and return outputs. ⮞ Example: function add(a, b) { return a + b; } let sum = add(5, 3); // sum = 8 console.log(sum); // Output: 8 📌 String Concatenation We combine (concatenate) strings using +. ⮞ Example: let firstName = "Alex"; let lastName = "Smith"; let fullName = firstName + " " + lastName; console.log(fullName); // Output: Alex Smith 🚀Quick Recap ✔ Datatypes help define the kind of data. Variablesstore data. Functions let us organize reusable logic. Arguments & returnallow input and output. Concatenation connects strings. That’s a wrap for Session 2! Thanks for reading — happy coding! ✨  ( 3 min )

Java is a statically typed, object-oriented programming language for building platform-independent applications. JavaScript is a dynamically typed scripting language primarily used for interactive web development. Despite similar names, they serve different purposes and have distinct syntax, runtime environments, and use cases. JavaScript was created in the first place for DOM manipulation. Earlier websites were mostly static, after JS was created dynamic Web sites were made. Functions in JS are objects. They may have properties and methods just like other objects. They can be passed as arguments in other functions. Can handle date and time. Performs Form Validation although the forms are created using HTML. No compiler is needed.

I use Google Maps a lot to find local shops and services — cafés, tattoo artists, yoga studios. But too often, their links lead to Instagram or Facebook pages, where I have to accept cookies, dodge login popups, or scroll past ads just to access basic info like opening hours or a portfolio. It’s frustrating. This kind of information should be public by default — not locked behind Meta’s walls. This Isn’t What the Web Was Meant For. Small businesses deserve better than to have their storefronts locked behind walled gardens. And people deserve access to that info without handing over their data to Meta. They should publish it on a bluesky account instead! I’m working on hopefully.blue — a new tool that gives small businesses a clean, Bluesky-powered profile page. Think Linktree meets Micro.blog, but for Bluesky. Your business posts to Bluesky. We generate a public-facing profile that lives outside Meta/ X (any other big corp). No login needed. No cookies. Just your info, presented beautifully. Your bio and pinned post become your “About” section. Your latest photos show up on the side as an image wall.

Back when I was studying at the College of Engineering, Trivandrum (Any CETians here?), during my MCA days, we had tons of fun in our hostel rooms. Only one of us had a UPS for his computer, so whenever there was a power cut, we all gathered in his room. His screen was the only one lit up, and we’d play a Flash game called Hangaroo—a Hangman clone where you had to guess the word before the kangaroo met its fate! Those memories still bring a smile to my face. When I came to know about the Q CLI Game Challenge, I immediately knew what I was going to build - a recreation of dear old Hangaroo!

When you run a lot of Docker containers, it can be hard to see what is going on. Each container writes logs and these logs might be important. They help you know if something is broken. They also help you understand how your app is working. But logs from many containers on many servers? That can get messy. This is why people use centralized logging. Centralized logging means all logs go to one place so that you can look at them easily. In this post, we will talk about how to collect logs from Docker. We will see what tools people use. And we will look at the pros and cons of each. Logs are like notes that your app writes. These notes say what the app is doing. If the app crashes, the logs can tell you why. If users have problems, the logs help you understand them. Without logs, fixing bugs…  ( 5 min )

The Australian Army is currently trialling an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system named TrapRadio, designed to generate deceptive radio communications to mislead adversaries and enhance frontline protection. Developed by British-Australian company Penten Amio, TrapRadio employs AI to create synthetic radio traffic that mimics high-value communications or transmission patterns, effectively diverting enemy attention and resources away from actual operations. This technology mirrors cybersecurity strategies where decoy systems and data are used to distract threat actors. TrapRadio was recently tested during a large-scale international military exercise in California, involving 140 Australian Defence Force personnel. The system demonstrated its capability to support soldiers through force protection and by creating dilemmas for adversaries via AI-generated deceptions. Captain Wayne Mulhall from the Electronic Warfare division at Army Headquarters highlighted TrapRadio's potential to reshape the battlefield by mimicking high-value targets, thereby creating strategic dilemmas for enemy operators. This initiative underscores the Australian Defence Force's commitment to integrating cutting-edge AI technologies to enhance operational effectiveness and soldier safety.

I get it. Five years ago, I thought “blockchain” was just what happened when your toilet chain got tangled. I rolled my eyes at every buzzword: NFTs, smart contracts, decentralization. Sounded like stuff tech bros yelled about over overpriced oat milk lattes. But then I saw the light—or rather, I saw my first smart contract in action. It was like watching my Roomba clean the room without eating my socks for once. So buckle up. I’m taking you through real-world blockchain use cases—…  ( 4 min )

JavaScript is one of the most widely-used programming languages for web development. Whether you're just getting started or brushing up on the basics, understanding how variables work and how to connect your code to HTML is essential. In this post, we’ll explore: What are global and local variables? How to link JavaScript in an HTML file. Before you can run JavaScript, you need to link it to your HTML file. There are two common ways to do this: 1. Inline JavaScript(not recommended for large projects) 2. External JavaScript File (best practice) Create a file named script.js: // script.js Link it in your HTML file: ✅ Tip: Global Variable A global variable is declared outside of any function. It can be accessed and modified anywhere in the code. let globalMessage = "I'm a global variable!"; function showMessage() { Local Variable A local variable is declared inside a function. It can only be accessed within that function. function showLocalMessage() { ⚠️ Remember: The DOM is a programming interface for HTML and XML documents. It represents the page so that programs (like JavaScript) can change the document structure, style, and content. Example: HTML: Hello! JavaScript: function changeText() { } When the button is clicked, the text will change — thanks to JavaScript and the DOM. Topic Key Point Global Variable Declared outside functions; accessible everywhere Local Variable Declared inside functions; limited scope Linking JS Use tag with src or inline DOM Lets JavaScript interact with HTML elements  ( 3 min )

Hi, I’m rhara, a software engineer at Axelspace. In this post, I’ll share how we reduced the size of an InfluxDB OSS v1 EBS volume from 5.9TiB to 2.9TiB by removing duplicate data. Since I couldn’t find much information on this process, I’m writing this as both a record and a reference. Note: This method requires creating a new InfluxDB database with a different name, meaning the original database name cannot be retained. To restore the original name, additional steps such as using the SELECT * INTO clause again are required. InfluxDB is a time-series database optimized for storing and querying time-based data, especially in use cases where high write and read throughput is important—such as log aggregation. (Docs) At Axelspace, we use InfluxDB to store satellite telemetry data, such as p…  ( 5 min )

The definition of association in SQL is overly simplistic: association is essentially performing a Cartesian product of two tables and then filtering the result, expressed in syntax like A JOIN B ON .... Python’s approach to association largely follows the SQL approach, with similar concepts and methods. However, esProc SPL understands association differently, with a definition that is no longer related to the Cartesian product. SPL divides association into two categories. One is called foreign key association, which refers to the association between a regular field (foreign key) of one table and the primary key of the other. For example, the foreign keys employee_id and customer_id of the orders table are associated with the primary keys of the customers and employees tables, respectively…  ( 8 min )

The Shadow DOM is like the secret room in a house — it’s hidden, self-contained, and not everyone knows how to use it. On one hand, it’s a magical tool for building components that are encapsulated from the rest of your app. On the other hand, it can make you question your life choices when things go wrong. Let’s break it down, shall we? What is the Shadow DOM The Shadow DOM is a part of the Web Components spec that lets you create encapsulated DOM for your elements. Essentially, you can create a "mini DOM" inside a parent element, and it won’t mess with the global styles or scripts. For example: Hello, World! , you can create a Shadow DOM like so: class CustomElement extends HTMLElement { constructor() { …  ( 5 min )

__ _1️⃣ Data Types in JavaScript JavaScript has several built-in data types. These are categorized into primitive and non-primitive (object) types. String – Text data let name = "Alice"; Number – Integer or floating-point numbers let age = 25; Boolean – true or false let isStudent = true; Undefined – A variable that has been declared but not assigned a value let x; Null – Represents an intentional absence of value let data = null; Symbol – Unique and immutable primitive value BigInt – For large integers 🔸 Non-Primitive (Objects, Arrays, Functions) let person = { name: "Bob", age: 30 }; *2️⃣ Variables: var, let, and const JavaScript uses keywords to declare variables: var – Function-scoped (older way) let – Block-scoped, can be reassigned const – Block-scoped, cannot be reassigned let city = "New York"; 3️⃣ Functions in JavaScript Functions are reusable blocks of code that perform specific tasks. function greet() { 🧪 Calling a Function greet(); // Output: Hello, world! *4️⃣ Function Arguments You can pass values to functions using arguments. function greetUser(name) { greetUser("Alice"); // Output: Hello, Alice! 5️⃣ Return Values Functions can return values using the return keyword. function add(a, b) { let sum = add(5, 10); ✅ Conclusion JavaScript becomes powerful once you understand its core components: Data types help store different kinds of information Variables let you store and reuse that data Functions allow you to organize and execute logic in a clean way In the next post, we’ll explore control flow with if, else, loops, and more!  ( 3 min )

📌 1. Global Variables A global variable is declared outside of any function and can be accessed from anywhere in the code (inside or outside functions). Example: let globalVar = "I am global"; function showGlobal() { console.log(globalVar); // Can access globalVar } showGlobal(); console.log(globalVar); // Also accessible here 2. Local Variables A local variable is declared inside a function (or block using let/const) and can only be accessed within that function or block. Example: function showLocal() { let localVar = "I am local"; console.log(localVar); // OK } showLocal(); // console.log(localVar); // ❌ Error: localVar is not defined Block Scope with let and const Variables declared with let or const are block-scoped, which means they're only accessible within { } braces. if (true) { let blockVar = "Inside block"; console.log(blockVar); // OK } // console.log(blockVar); // ❌ Error Note on var var is function-scoped but not block-scoped. function testVar() { if (true) { var x = 10; } console.log(x); // ✅ Works: x is function-scoped } testVar(); Comparison Table Type Scope Accessible From Keyword Global Entire script Anywhere var, let, const (outside) Local Function/Block Only inside its block let, const, var (inside) Global Variable = Accessible anywhere in the file.

When working toward PCI-DSS compliance in containerized environments, one of the most critical components to get right is the container image itself. Docker images form the foundation of your deployed applications, and any misconfiguration, vulnerability, or bloat at this level can have cascading effects on your security posture. PCI-DSS emphasizes minimizing the attack surface, enforcing least privilege, and maintaining traceable controls - all of which can (and should) be implemented directly during image creation. Start by choosing your base image carefully. Bloated, outdated images not only increase the size of your containers but also multiply the number of possible vulnerabilities. Use minimal, purpose-built base images like Alpine or Distroless whenever possible. These images contai…  ( 5 min )

Good morning, everyone. Today's topic is about the life cycle in Cangjie's language development. In fact, You LAN Jun prefers to share practical code writing and doesn't like to talk too much about theoretical things. The reason why I wrote a separate article today to share the content of the life cycle is that if this part is not covered, it's really easy to fall into a trap. The life cycle refers to the process from loading, displaying to disappearing of a page or component. During this process, there will be some system events, and we can perform some operations in it. For instance, in ArkTs, there are methods such as aboutToAppear() and onPageShow(). So, what is the life cycle like in Cangjie?

This is one of the most powerful habits I wish remote teams adopted more. Documenting everything. Not because you love writing things down for the sake of it. But because clear, accessible documentation is what makes async work. When decisions live in your head (or in some Slack Channel), people have to ask to catch up. Which means more meetings. More repeating. More “Can you remind me where that stands?” More/Better documentation means… → Everyone has the context they need Async doesn’t mean you lose visibility. It means you gain clarity—without the meeting. Because if your documentation does the talking, your team can get back to building.  ( 3 min )

Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) makes running Kubernetes on AWS easier, but keeping costs under control can be a challenge. As your workloads grow, so do the expenses, and without a clear strategy, it’s easy to end up with a sky-high cloud bill. According to the 2025 State of Cloud Costs by Datadog, over 80% of container spend goes to waste. Most teams over-provision CPU and memory to handle peak loads, but actual usage rarely matches these allocations. This leads to underutilized nodes, inflated infrastructure costs, and inefficient autoscaling. To optimize EKS costs effectively, you need to understand where your money is going and how to make the most of your resources. In this guide, we’ll break down the key areas of EKS cost management and share practical tips to help you reduc…  ( 10 min )

Bilal Bin Saqib, head of Pakistan’s crypto council, announced on May 28 that the country is moving to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Saqib said the government of Pakistan followed the United States’ lead in establishing a Bitcoin strategic reserve and is embracing pro-crypto regulatory policies. The government official told the audience: "Today is a very historic day. Today, I announce the Pakistani government is setting up its own government-led Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, and we want to thank the United States of America again because we were inspired by them." The announcement represents a significant departure from the government of Pakistan’s previous stance on cryptocurrencies, holding that crypto would never be legal in the country. Pakistan’s shift reflects the broader trend of nation-states adopting pro-crypto policies following the regulatory shift in Washington, DC under the President Donald Trump administration.

Opinion by: Scott Buchanan, chief operating officer of Bitcoin Depot A new proposal to install Bitcoin ATMs in federal buildings highlights an important question: Can crypto truly go mainstream without a stronger physical presence? For years, the industry has focused on software and decentralization, but its reluctance to invest in real-world infrastructure is starting to show. Without physical access points, crypto risks becoming an exclusive, insiders-only system, rather than the open alternative it sets out to be. Everyone loves to talk about decentralization. There’s a good reason behind this. It defines the movement, shapes the technology, and supports the vision of a better financial system. While the industry focuses on code and algorithms, it lacks something basic. A decentralized …

At present, crypto is largely unregulated in the UK. We want to strike a balance in support of a sector that enables innovation and is underpinned by market integrity and…

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) caught an uptick in monthly sales in May after months of consistent decline throughout 2025.  Data from CryptoSlam shows that May’s NFT sales climbed to $430 million, up from $373 million in April, a 15% increase. It marks the first monthly sales increase since the start of the year, suggesting renewed interest in digital collectibles.  This follows a five-month decline in sales since volume peaked at over $900 million in December 2024. May also had the highest number of transactions in 2025, reaching 5.5 million, according to CryptoSlam.  The sales uptick could also be attributed to the divergence between unique NFT buyers and unique NFT sellers. NFT buyers continued to increase in May, while sellers declined.  Chart compiled by Cointelegraph to demonstrate Cryp…

The company did not specify how much it paid for the Bitcoin (BTC) or when the purchases were made. The amount purchased was worth around $513 million at the time of writing.

Key points: Bitcoin price is stuck in a range, with overhead resistance at $110,000 continuing to obstruct a rally to new all-time highs. Traders are in a wait-and-see mood due to uncertainty surrounding macroeconomic events. Bitcoin’s (BTC) bull run has stalled, with the price consolidating within a roughly $3,500 range since May 23. The $110,000 level proves to be a stubborn barrier. BTC/USD four-hour chart. Cointelegraph/TradingView Let’s look at some of the reasons why Bitcoin price remains stuck.

Swiss crypto bank Amina Bank, formerly Seba Bank, reported record financial results for 2024, with revenue climbing 69% year-over-year to $40.4 million. The bank also saw its assets under management (AUM) rise by 136% to $4.2 billion, driven by institutional demand and strategic expansion, according to a May 28 news release. The Zurich-based bank credited the growth to its multi-jurisdictional footprint, 24/7 trading capabilities and a lending book that has maintained zero defaults over five years. “I’m incredibly proud of our team’s tenacity and focus, which led to quarterly profitability in Q4 2024, a pivotal milestone that confirms the value of our approach,” CEO Franz Bergmueller said.

BlackRock, one of the world’s largest Bitcoin holders, is reportedly participating in a bond raise by crypto-friendly messenger Telegram. Telegram is expected to raise at least $1.5 billion in a bond issue on May 28, with support from existing backers like BlackRock and Abu Dhabi’s investment firm Mubadala, The Wall Street Journal reported. As part of the sale, Telegram is offering investors five-year bonds at a 9% yield, the report said, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Discounts for potential Telegram IPO Apart from existing Telegram bondholders like BlackRock and Mubadala, the sale is also expected to bring new investors, including the US hedge fund firm Citadel. The WSJ report came weeks after Bloomberg first reported on Telegram's bond sale in late April, with sources claiming that the company was holding investor meetings about a bond sale worth about $2 billion to refinance its debut debt offering from 2021. According to the Financial Times, Telegram’s new bond offering will allow investors to buy shares in a potential initial public offering at a 20% discount, mirroring the terms of previous bond sales.

Ripple, the blockchain company behind XRP, argued that fungible cryptocurrencies are not securities when transferred in secondary transactions in a recent letter sent to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In its May 27 letter, Ripple cited US attorney and crypto law thought leader Lewis Cohen to support its claim. In his widely cited 2022 paper, “The Ineluctable Modality of Securities Law: Why Fungible Crypto Assets Are Not Securities,” he wrote: “[T]here is no current basis in the law relating to ‘investment contracts’ to classify most fungible crypto assets as ‘securities’ when transferred in secondary transactions.” In his paper, Cohen explained that in secondary transactions, an investment contract transaction is generally not present. He further claimed that fungible cry…

Sui-based decentralized exchange Cetus may be one step closer to recovering funds lost in a recent exploit, pending the outcome of a community governance vote scheduled to end June 3. Cetus was exploited for over $220 million worth of digital assets on May 22. Shortly after the incident, Cetus managed to freeze $162 million of the funds. In a May 27 post on X, Sui said Cetus had requested a community vote to approve the recovery of the frozen funds. “If the community vote is approved, the funds will be recovered from the attacker and held in a multisig trust account until they can be returned to accounts that had positions in Cetus,” the post said. The vote is part of a broader recovery plan that includes using Cetus’s treasury and securing an emergency loan from the Sui Foundation. Sou…

White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks says the US could buy more Bitcoin if the government can fund the purchase in a “budget-neutral” way without a tax or adding to the growing national debt. Sacks told Gemini co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss during a May 27 fireside chat at the Bitcoin 2025 conference that while he “can’t promise anything,” a pathway does exist for the government to buy more Bitcoin (BTC). However, it would require convincing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick or Treasury Secretary Scott Besson to OK the buy and fund it “without a new tax or adding to the debt,” Sacks said, adding that “maybe by finding the money from some other program that’s not using it — then we could potentially acquire more Bitcoin.” David Sacks said the US could buy more Bitcoin, but h…

The International Monetary Fund said it has reached an agreement with El Salvador to pay the country $120 million following an initial review of its $1.4 billion loan agreement struck last year. The IMF said on May 27 that as part of the deal, El Salvador will need to fulfill its prior obligations around limiting further government involvement in Bitcoin (BTC), and it will have to cease its involvement in the Chivo wallet by the end of July. “On Bitcoin, efforts will continue to ensure that the total amount of Bitcoin held across all government-owned wallets remains unchanged,” the global lender said. The planned payout, subject to IMF executive board approval, is part of a larger $1.4 billion, 40-month loan deal struck in December, which saw El Salvador agree to confine its Bitcoin ambiti…

Outgoing US Commodity Futures Trading Commission commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero says the exodus of the agency’s top brass is “not a great situation” for crypto regulations. The CFTC could be headed by just one commissioner once the other four depart later this year, which Goldsmith Romero said in a May 27 interview at the Brookings Institution will make creating regulations harder because it leaves a less diverse pool of opinions.  “I think it’s not a great situation if you have one person who’s determining what the rules should be; you lose the benefit of this back-and-forth, this push-and-pull as to what’s the right thing to do,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to hear from my fellow commissioners about what makes sense to them, and there are many things that they’ve convinced me of…

US President Donald Trump’s pick to chair the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has disclosed millions of dollars worth of assets, along with his various ties to crypto-related organizations.

US Representative Bryan Steil wants lawmakers to stop adding “non-germane items” into two key crypto bills, claiming that doing so is slowing the implementation of a regulatory framework for the industry. “Individuals, when they see legislation that’s going to move forward, want to attach non-germane items to any bill that’s going to move through and be signed into law,” Steil, a Republican from Wisconsin who chairs the House Financial Services Subcommittee on crypto, told Cointelegraph at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas on May 27. “We have to restrain ourselves from that instinct and attempt by our colleagues — both sides of the aisle,” he added.

Jack Dorsey’s financial services firm Block, Inc. will launch Bitcoin payments on Square, its payments processing arm, with a rollout to begin later this year before a full launch in 2026.

Bitcoin’s recent all-time high of $111,970 has sparked optimism among crypto market participants, but whether that carries through into the third quarter of this year remains uncertain, analysts say. “The coming weeks will likely determine whether Bitcoinʼs latest breakout was a local high or the prelude to a more aggressive leg higher in Q3,” Bitfinex analysts said in a May 28 markets note. Consolidation or mild retracement may “be healthy” Bitcoin (BTC) reached new all-time highs of $111,970 on May 22, however, Bitfinex analysts say a continued price increase alone won’t necessarily confirm the uptrend heading into the next quarter.  “A period of consolidation or mild retracement would not only be healthy but also provide a more sustainable foundation for the next leg higher,” the analys…

Real-world assets linking up with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is one of a few key catalysts that could reignite the waning NFT lending sector, which is suffering from a collapse in volumes and user activity, says blockchain analytics platform DappRadar. Volumes in the NFT lending market, which allows NFT holders to take out a loan against their token, have dropped 97% from a peak of around $1 billion in January 2024 to $50 million in May, DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas said in a May 27 report. Gherghelas said for NFT lending to “move beyond survival mode,” it needs “new catalysts” to reignite the sector, such as real-world asset NFTs, like tokenized real estate or yield-bearing assets that could unlock more stable, trusted collateral sources. “So far, 2025 has not delivered a compelling …

Nasdaq has filed for crypto asset manager 21Shares to list a spot Sui exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the US, initiating the Securities and Exchange Commission’s review process. The stock market’s May 23 19b-4 filing, which asks the SEC to list the 21Shares SUI ETF, follows 21Shares’ April 30 submission of its S-1 registration statement to the SEC, which asked the regulator to approve trading of the proposed fund. Both regulatory filings are needed for the Sui (SUI) tracking fund to gi live, with the 19b-4 filing kicking off the SEC’s review process. The agency must decide whether to accept, reject or delay the application within 45 days and it can delay its decision multiple times, for a maximum review period of 240 days. The SEC must decide on 21Shares’ application by Jan. 18, 2026, at the…

In a world full of portfolios, GitHub profiles, and online résumés, it’s easy to feel like one developer in a sea of sameness. But here’s the truth: if you want better opportunities, better projects, and more control over your career—you need to sell yourself. And that starts with a personal brand. You might think “branding” is just for influencers and startups. Not true. As a developer, your brand is your reputation made visible. Here’s how to build it, own it, and let it open doors. ⸻ 🧭 Know What You Want to Be Known For Before you can create a personal brand, you need clarity. Ask yourself: Your brand should be a reflection of both your skills and your passions. You can’t be the “everything” dev.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere, but Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is something entirely different. While AI powers chatbots, image generators, and recommendation engines, it remains narrow—trained for specific tasks. AGI, by contrast, refers to a still-hypothetical system capable of understanding and performing any intellectual task a human can. Yet despite growing attention, AGI has no single agreed-upon definition. What exactly qualifies as “general” intelligence? And how close are we to achieving it? Below are some influential quotes that attempt to define what AGI really means. 6 Definitions “AGI is a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work.” OpenAI Charter, 2018 “AGI would be a system that is able to perform human-level…  ( 4 min )

One of the challenges of AI systems development is ensuring that your system performs well not just when it is initially released, but as it grows and is deployed to the world. While AI prototyping projects are fun and exciting, eventually systems need to make it to the real-world and evolve over time. These evolutions can come in the following forms: Changing the system prompt to try to improve performance or resolve issues Adding new tools for AI systems to call in function-calling scenarios. This is particularly relevant when working with tooling like Semantic Kernel or Model Context Protocol (MCP) Changing the data that is accessible to models for Retrieval Augmentation Generation. This often comes naturally over time as new data is added. Regardless of the cause of change, organizati…  ( 10 min )

The Transformer model introduced in 2017 paper Attention Is All You Need , flipped the deep learning world (subfield of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks with multiple layers to learn complex patterns and relationships in data.). Its an influential work in deep learning and NLP that introduced the Transformer architecture, now the foundation for models like GPT, BERT, and T5. (T in all these names stands for transformer.) This paper basically created modern AI as we know. Every major model as of 2025 is built off this idea.

Started learning The Odin Project's foundation course — everything was going smoothly until I reached the installation chapter. That part alone took me the whole day 🤦‍♀️ In total, from starting the course to finally getting through the installation chapter, it took me 8 hours. 😩 I had so many questions and got super confused during the installation process. I kept googling things, checking images, and asking ChatGPT — and slowly it started to make more sense. (Not gonna lie, Google Images helped more than anything else 😂). Initially, I tried installing **Ubuntu **through PowerShell, but it didn’t go well. Then I tried installing it from the Microsoft Store, but that version wasn’t working either. Strangely, the "incomplete" installation from PowerShell started working out of nowhere. Not sure what really happened, but it seems to be working fine now. 👍 I haven’t moved on from the chapter yet — just making sure Ubuntu is installed correctly and running well. I asked ChatGPT how to check that, and so far, all the tests are coming back fine. I’ve always wanted to try Linux, but I had this fear that my old and slow PC might crash or something. Now, I feel like I’m slowly convincing myself to properly learn and use Linux. ✌ "There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience."

Definition Perception is the mental process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensory information to make sense of the world around us. Subjective: Two people can see the same event yet interpret it differently. Active: We constantly filter and focus on stimuli that matter to us. Dynamic: Past experiences, moods, and goals shape our perceptions in real time. Why It Matters Guides how we respond to colleagues and tasks. Shapes communication—misperceptions can lead to conflict. Influences motivation—people act on how they perceive rewards and risks.

Here’s how to do it: Run this in your terminal (Linux/macOS/git bash/WSL): ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "github-deploy" If your system doesn’t support ed25519, you can use: ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "github-deploy" When prompted: Enter file name: You can name it something like ~/.ssh/github_cicd Passphrase: Leave empty (press Enter) for automation ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/github_cicd.pub deployuser@your.server.ip Replace deployuser with the actual username on your server and your.server.ip with your server IP or domain. If ssh-copy-id isn't available, do this manually: cat ~/.ssh/github_cicd.pub Copy the output and add it to: ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on your server. Open your private key: cat ~/.ssh/github_cicd Copy the entire content (including -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY----- and -----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----).

This is a submission for the Postmark Challenge: Inbox Innovators. MarketMail – a crowdsourced produce‑price exchange for Uganda & East Africa that runs entirely by e‑mail. Farmers or enumerators send a simple price list to prices@your-domain.com; Postmark’s inbound webhook feeds the data into a Node.js API, which: Parses and validates the e‑mail (body or CSV/XLSX attachment). Normalises units/currency and stores records in MongoDB. Calculates daily deltas and 7‑day averages. Sends the sender an automated market‑trend report. Publishes an open JSON API and a React dashboard so anyone can view live prices. The flow works from any basic e‑mail client, so even users on feature phones with intermittent data can contribute and benefit. Live URL: https://marketmail.vercel.app Test: e‑mail the sample below to send@marketmail.canktech.com. Country: Uganda Market: Nakasero Date: 2025‑05‑28 Maize (kg): 1850 Beans (kg): 2950 Tomatoes (crate): 9800 You’ll receive a reply within ~10 s containing a cleaned table and a mini market report.

This is a submission for the Postmark Challenge: Inbox Innovators. I made https://dearme.email/. It's a service that let's you send an email to yourself, which you receive after 30 days. What could you use this for? You can send yourself reminders, check in on your goals, and maybe benefit from the perspective of listening to your past self. In an age where bots are everywhere, it's nice to be able to have a human connection with yourself. Not to mention the fact that you can actually do a bit of time travelling, which is awesome. You can send an email to hello@dearme.email and it will be sent back to you in 30 days. We encrypt the email on our end, decrypt it when it's time to send it back and then we delete the message from our systems. We do demand that you varify your email. If you don't do that within 30 days we delete the message. It's a fairly basic Python/postgres setup with Flask. Postmark really takes care of most of the hard bits here. There's a webhook and a cronjob too, but nothing too fancy. I might add payments later to help cover the postgres costs, which I'll probably build with lemonsqueezy. But assuming there's not a huge demand for this app overnight I should be fine. Postmark has reasonable pricing and they also do some spam detection (which is a concern of mine given that anyone can email). @koaning  ( 3 min )

As I learn more about cloud computing and AWS, I came across EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) – a service that enables me run virtual servers in the cloud. These instances gave me full control over how to set them up and access them. To connect to an EC2 instance securely, I used SSH (Secure Shell). Since I’m on a Windows machine I used a free tool called PuTTY, which helps me manage my instances both safely and conveniently. SSH (Secure Shell) is a secure way to connect to a remote device like a server. Instead of typing in a password I used a key pair – a public key stored on the server and a private key saved safely on my computer. To connect to AWS instance I followed below steps using PuTTY on Windows. What I Used: A running EC2 instance on AWS A .ppt key pair that I downloaded when launching the instance PuTTY installed on my PC. I opened PuTTY. In the Host Name field, I entered the public IP of my EC2 instance (from the AWS console). Under Connection → SSH → Auth, I browsed and selected my .ppk file. I clicked Open to start the session. When prompted for a username, I used ec2-user for Amazon Linux PuTTY is lightweight and easy to use. It helps me: Save sessions for quick connections Use terminal commands like I would on a Linux server Learning how to connect to AWS EC2 instances using SSH and PuTTY has been a valuable experience. It helped me understand the basics of secure server management and gives me hands-on practice in cloud computing.  ( 3 min )

You know what happens next right? Your APIs start changing, types drift, errors pop up everywhere, and suddenly you're spending more time debugging API calls than building features. Sound familiar? The Problem Nobody Talks About First thing first. Your project starts small. A few API calls here and there, maybe some user auth, simple data fetching. Everything works fine with basic fetch or axios calls.

I am not a designer myself, but for the better part of the last decade, I've been involved in a lot of frontend projects and worked closely with design. Having picked up some design fundamentals really helped me in my career and I want to share some of that with you now. TLDR: A designers brain is wired differently, and as a logical thinker you will never be able to comprehend their deep state of being. As a developer, it's not necessary to adapt this state. After all - designers and developers are completely different roles. But it sure helps if you know at least some basics. So here are 5 tips that I use to avoid building crappy apps and make something usable. No matter what you do, functionality, readability, and accessibility are always the highest priority. A crappy design, that work…  ( 5 min )

Ever zoomed in on a map and wondered how the experience is so smooth and snappy? That's thanks to tiled image rendering. I recently built a tool called tilegen, which is essentially a tile generator that slices up a high-res image into thousands of tiles across multiple zoom levels, just like Google Maps does (well, almost). This post is a deep dive into what tilegen is, how it works, the quirks I ran into, and how mapping giants like Google do it too. At its core, tilegen takes a massive image (like a satellite photo, map scan, game world, or giant illustration), and cuts it into 256×256 PNG tiles across zoom levels. These tiles can then be loaded on demand by a viewer, allowing users to pan and zoom without downloading gigabytes of image data up front. 🧵 Multi-threaded tile generation u…  ( 5 min )

Hey devs, Quick story: My coding journey started with writing assembly code by hand on exam papers, forums full of chaos, and messaging colleagues on MSN (because phone calls? Nah).

Then a few months back, my PhD friend drops: “You know you can talk to AI about this, right?” I’m like, “F.ck.” Now?

Okay, our puppet show is a hit! In our last episode, we saw how the Frontend dazzles the audience, and the Backend(the puppeteers) makes everything happen flawlessly. But who handles all the other behind-the-scenes magic that isn't the puppet or the puppeteer? Who builds the actual theater and makes sure it's safe and sound? How do we add new puppets or change scenes quickly and without mistakes every night? Who watches to make sure the lights don't go out or a rope doesn't snap? What if our show gets so popular we need to open more theaters fast?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the software development landscape. Its impact is both groundbreaking and complex—offering unprecedented productivity boosts while introducing new challenges that developers must navigate thoughtfully. The Positive Side: Supercharged Productivity and Innovation For startups and solo developers, AI lowers the barrier to entry, allowing smaller teams to build powerful applications that would have previously required large development resources. It's also enabling innovation in fields like healthcare, education, and finance by automating complex data analysis and modeling tasks. The Negative Side: Dependency and Ethical Dilemmas Ethically, concerns around data privacy, model bias, and job displacement must be addressed. As AI takes over more tasks, companies must ensure that developers are not just users but also ethical stewards of these powerful tools. Conclusion @alx_africa  ( 3 min )

Editor’s note: This article was originally submitted to InfoQ. It is shared here in its draft form to open up the conversation and gather feedback from the developer community. Before you can improve delivery, you have to trust your estimates. I didn’t set out to create a new estimation system, but during planning sessions I started noticing a pattern. When engineers debated whether a story was a “3” or a “5,” the number rarely mattered, but the context behind the conversation revealed everything. I kept hearing things like: “This isn’t that much code, but it touches three different systems.” “We don’t even know if that API does what we need yet.” “I can knock this out fast, but I’ll need Jack to unblock me.” “Feels simple, but every time we touch that part of the code, something breaks.” …  ( 8 min )

It all started with a simple idea—selling remote control toys and electronics online. I was excited about it, so I started the process of applying for Stripe business to handle payments. I filled out all the details, and after 51 days of waiting, I got a rejection. I didn’t have time to reapply, so I figured, "Alright, time to find another way." That’s when I came across Meesho, which allows you to resell products for a higher price. The idea clicked, but there was a catch—I needed an e-commerce website to make it work. I decided to take matters into my own hands and build the website. I used Flask for the backend and MongoDB for the database. But then came the tricky part: How do I make sure my customers are legit?

If you're building with Bubble.io and want to make your app more dynamic and user-friendly, adding filters to repeating groups or tables is a must-have feature. In this tutorial, I walk you through how to set up filters using input fields, dropdowns, and more — all without writing a single line of code. 📺 Watch the full tutorial on YouTube: 🔍 Why Filters Matter Repeating groups are powerful, but without filtering, they can become overwhelming for your users. By allowing users to narrow down what they see based on specific criteria, you improve both usability and performance. Use cases include: Marketplaces (filter by category, price, etc.) Dashboards (filter by date, status, owner) CRMs (filter by name, stage, priority) In this tutorial, I cover: Setting up a basic repeating group Adding filters with input fields and dropdowns Chaining multiple filter conditions Best practices for responsiveness and performance Real-world example: filtering a product or transaction list Always double-check your search constraints inside the repeating group’s data source. Use "Ignore empty constraints" to make filters optional. Combine multiple inputs using "Do a Search for" + Advanced filters when needed.

Mas, que é o memory leak? Imagina que você tá jogando Mario Kart e eu estou te amassando (com toda a humildade). Cada vez que um personagem usa um item (tipo casco vermelho, banana, cogumelo), o jogo precisa de um espacinho na "memória" pra fazer esse item funcionar. Agora pensa assim: O memory leak é tipo se o Mario jogasse um casco vermelho... e o casco nunca sumisse da pista. Ele bate, acerta, faz o que tem que fazer, mas continua lá, invisível, ocupando espaço. E aí o Luigi joga uma banana, o Yoshi usa turbo, e esses itens também nunca desaparecem de verdade. Com o tempo, a pista vai ficando cheia de itens “fantasmas” que ninguém vê mais, mas que tão ali ocupando espaço e deixando o jogo mais lento ou até travando.

Written by Murat Yüksel✏️ In the old days, CSS animations were handled by a handful of magicians and tricksters, often referred to as CSS Wizard_s_. These wizards knew the ways of CSS and how to make elements go up and down, disappear, fly out, glow, jump, and hide. Their tale was spoken in all known realms, and their arcane magic was feared by many – and sought after by even more. As their fame grew, so did the number of apprentices – people who also wanted to use those arcane spells that made a page transition so smoothly, or gave pleasing loader screens. But the magic was difficult, it took time to master, and when it went bad, it went bad – apps crashed, pages jumped into each other, users couldn’t figure out what was what, and why it was so. These were the difficult times. Fortunate…  ( 11 min )

When you think about artificial intelligence, the first thing that probably comes to mind is The Terminator—a living robot that can do everything a human can, but faster, better, and smarter. I’m not going to dive into the medieval history of how we went from punch cards to talking computers or how we can now access the entire world from a tiny screen. Instead, I want to focus on one simple idea. Let’s say you want a sandwich. You tell your mom, “Make me a sandwich,” and—without asking how—she makes it. Why? Because she already knows what a sandwich is, how to make it, and what you mean. Now imagine telling a computer the same thing. Unlike your mom, it doesn’t inherently know what a sandwich is, what ingredients are involved, or even what “make” means—unless you give it very specific, structured instructions. That’s what programming is: telling a machine what to do, step by step, in a language it understands. But here’s the twist: What if you didn’t need to be a programmer? What if the computer could understand you just like your mom does? That’s where Natural Language Processing (NLP) comes in. It’s the part of AI that enables machines to understand and process human language. It allows even a “non-techie” to talk to machines and get meaningful responses—whether that’s asking Siri for the weather or using ChatGPT to write a blog post. So yes, you can think of the Terminator again—a robot that walks, talks, and understands commands. But if it doesn’t understand your language, you’d have to explain everything in code, which could take ages (maybe even centuries). The fact that we’ve come this far didn’t happen overnight—it took decades of research and innovation. So here I am, starting my** Natural Language Processing** series. Now it’s your turn: What’s your perspective on AI? How do you see the future of machines that can understand us? Drop your thoughts below!  ( 3 min )

Today I want to give an usage example of cl-smtp. It's a good, maintained library, with a good README but no proper documentation, nor a ready-to-copy-paste usage example. Here it is: (cl-smtp:send-email "mail.server.org" "from@mail.org" "to@mailz.org" "subject" "just a test message from Emacs/Slime." :port 587 :ssl :starttls :authentication (list "from@mail.org" "password")) ;; => ("2.0.0 Bye") The lambda list is: (cl-smtp:send-email host from to subject message :ssl ssl :port port :cc cc :bcc bcc :reply-to reply-to :extra-headers extra-headers :html-message html-message :display-name display-name :authentication authentication :attachments attachments :buffer-size buffer-size :envelope-sender envelope-sender :external-format external-format :local-hostname local-hostname :message-id message-id) This code snippet allows to send an email from Common Lisp with an existing email account: be it Gmail or any other regular email provider, as long as you know its SMTP address or IP, and your account ID and password. Eudoxia's postmaster is a wrapper around cl-smtp and mel-base. It adds object-orientation to create and use servers as first-class objects, as well as some defaults. It uses cl-smtp to send emails, and mel-base to manage pop3/IMAP folders. The repository is now read-only, let's maintain it together on https://github.com/lisp-maintainers/ if you are so inclined. If you want to rely on a third-party email provider, you can create an account there and these libraries have you covered: sendgrid - send emails with Sendgrid's API. mailgun - A thin wrapper to post HTML emails through mailgun.com. trivial-imap wants to make mel-base or post-office (a fork of Franz's cl-imap) easier to use. I didn't try any of them. It even has the possibility to search for emails. Sending (and possibility reading) emails in Common Lisp isn't trendy but just works© ;) for any news please check the list of https://github.com/CodyReichert/awesome-cl/  ( 3 min )

The world of digital advertising is undergoing a transformation — and at the center of it is AI-powered AdOps. In 2025, the complexity of programmatic ecosystems is too vast for human-only operations.

In this blog, I will share what I learned today with simple explanations. JavaScript is used to make websites interactive and dynamic. HTML gives structure, CSS gives style, but JavaScript adds life to the website. Showing alert messages Creating sliders or animations Validating forms (like checking if email is correct) Building real-time updates without refreshing the page A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. to avoid repeating code. Instead of writing the same code again and again, we write it once in a function and call it wherever needed. Example: function greet() { console.log("Hello, welcome to my blog!"); } This function will print a welcome message. how to call this function. To run (or call) a function, just write the function name followed by parentheses (). Example: greet(); // This will print: Hello, welcome to my blog! So, whenever you write greet();, it runs the code inside the function. Variables are containers for storing data. var (older) let (modern and recommended) const (for values that should not change) Example: let name = "John"; const age = 25; var city = "Mumbai"; Keyword Scope Can Reassign Description var Function Yes Older and not recommended much let Block Yes Used when value can change const Block No Used when value should stay same JavaScript has two main types of data: String → "Hello" Number → 42, 3.14 Boolean → true or false Null → No value Undefined → Not assigned yet Symbol → Unique values (advanced) BigInt → Large numbers Object → {name: "John", age: 25} Array → ["apple", "banana"] Function → Reusable block of code Data types help the browser understand what kind of data we are using. A number is used for calculations. A string is used for text. A boolean is used for conditions (true or false). This helps JavaScript work smoothly and avoid errors.  ( 4 min )

Quadratic AI now supports formatting; AI can intelligently apply much of the same formatting you otherwise would have access to. With support for: Text styling: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough Alignment and text wrapping Applying color to text and cell backgrounds Number formatting: commas, currencies, percentages, date/time formatting Below are some scenarios that showcase the power of this feature. Broad formatting requests Have a sheet that could use a touch-up? Tell the AI to format your sheet however it thinks best. Format at specific locations Have a more opinionated location for your formatting? Tell the AI precisely where you’d like the formatting applied, and the AI will have an especially efficient time applying accurate formatting across the locations you define. Conditional formatting This action will usually be very accurate, but performance will degrade as you ask the AI to format larger and larger swathes of data. Expect accuracy up to hundreds or sometimes thousands of rows of data at a time. Quadratic AI, now supporting formatting The above are just a few possible examples of AI + formatting.

Winter is a magical time of the year. The air is crisp, snowflakes fall gently, and homes start to glow with beautiful decorations. One decoration that is gaining a lot of popularity this year is the natural winter wreath. In Minnesota and across the country, more people are choosing natural wreaths to decorate their doors, walls, and windows. But why are natural winter wreaths trending this year? Let’s find out! Winter can sometimes feel dull and gray, especially in places like Minnesota where the trees lose their leaves and snow covers the ground. This is why many people want to bring a bit of nature into their homes. A natural winter wreath made of fresh greenery, pinecones, berries, and dried flowers adds life and color to any space. It reminds us of the beauty of the outdoors even whe…  ( 5 min )

After doing this dance for the hundredth time, I finally snapped and decided to build something that would save me (and hopefully you) from this tedious process. The Problem Every Frontend Dev Knows We've all been there. You need a nice shadow for a button, card, or modal. So you either: Copy from Stack Overflow - Hope those box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.1) values work with your design Trial and error in DevTools - Spend way too long adjusting values until something looks right Ask the designer - "Hey, can you give me the exact shadow specs?" (if you're lucky enough to have a designer) The worst part? You never remember the values you used last time, so you repeat this process for every single project. As a developer, I wanted something that would: Let me see changes instantly (no ref…  ( 5 min )

TypeScript permite definir tipos genéricos usando una sintaxis con , lo que funciona como una plantilla de tipo. Esto significa que podemos escribir funciones o componentes que no especifiquen de antemano un tipo fijo, sino que se adapten al tipo real de datos en cada uso. Por ejemplo, la función genérica function identidad(valor: T): T { return valor; } devuelve lo que recibe, y el compilador infiere el tipo concreto en cada llamada. En palabras de GeeksforGeeks, “los genéricos en TypeScript permiten crear componentes o funciones dinámicos y reutilizables que pueden manejar distintos tipos de datos manteniendo una estricta seguridad de tipos”. Es decir, los genéricos mantienen la seguridad del tipado (evitan errores de tipo en tiempo de ejecución) y al mismo tiempo aumentan la flexi…  ( 9 min )

1. Joining the Twilio Sandbox Before you can start receiving messages via Webhook, you need to join the WhatsApp Sandbox. Here's how: In your Twilio Console, navigate to Messaging > Try it Out > Send a WhatsApp message. You’ll see a Sandbox section. Send the provided code (something like "join magic-pizza") to the given WhatsApp number. In my case, it was "join control-type". ✅ Done! Your phone is now linked to the Sandbox. Important: Next, you’ll tell Twilio where to send incoming messages. In the Sandbox settings, set your Webhook URL for incoming messages (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/webhook). You can do this on the same page, under the "Sandbox Settings" tab. Make sure your server can accept POST requests from Twilio. Now, every time that phone number receives a WhatsApp message, Twilio will send the message to your webhook so you can handle the incoming message. Twilio will send a payload like this: { "SmsMessageSid": "SMc8df133659ef2ca4251da5b1ac5453cdg", "NumMedia": "0", "ProfileName": "John Smith", "MessageType": "text", "SmsSid": "SMc8df133659ef2ca4251da5b1ac5453cdg", "WaId": "+157822787582693", "SmsStatus": "received", "Body": "The body of the message that you are receiving", "To": "whatsapp:+157822787584443", "NumSegments": "1", "ReferralNumMedia": "0", "MessageSid": "SMc8df133659ef2ca4251da5b1ac5453cdg", "AccountSid": "youraccountId", "From": "whatsapp:+157822787582693", "ApiVersion": "2010-04-01" } We'll code a real webhook handler in the next part 😉  ( 4 min )

In the world of backend development and designing complex systems, it's not enough just to write good code — it's equally important to clearly communicate architectural ideas to your team, clients, or new developers joining the project. One of the most effective tools for this is the C4 Model — a simple yet powerful way to document and visualize software architecture. Created by Simon Brown, the C4 model offers a hierarchical approach to diagramming, allowing you to gradually zoom in from broad concepts to detailed implementation. The model consists of four levels: System Context Containers Components Code What makes it especially convenient is that C4 is often used together with PlantUML, a powerful text-based tool for creating UML diagrams. This allows you to describe your system structu…  ( 7 min )

Hi there! I'm Maneshwar. Right now, I’m building LiveAPI, a first-of-its-kind tool for helping you automatically index API endpoints across all your repositories. LiveAPI helps you discover, understand, and use APIs in large tech infrastructures with ease. If you've ever built something like a live score ticker, stock updates, or notification feed, chances are you've needed real-time updates from your server. While WebSockets often steal the spotlight, there's a quieter but super-effective player on the field: Server-Sent Events (SSE). Let's break it down and show you how to implement it from scratch using just HTML + JavaScript + a simple backend. Server-Sent Events (SSE) enable one-way, real-time communication from the server to the browser, using a single long-lived HTTP connection. Ke…  ( 5 min )

We've all done this: const payload = { action_type: event.actionType, }; if (event.contextLabel) { payload.label = event.contextLabel; } Or: const payload = Object.assign( { action_type: event.actionType, }, event.contextLabel ? { label: event.contextLabel } : {} ); But there's a better way, more concise, safe, and expressive: const payload = { action_type: event.actionType, ...(event.contextLabel && { label: event.contextLabel }), }; The && operator short-circuits. If contextLabel is falsy, nothing gets spread. If it's truthy, { label: value } is merged into the object. No mutations, no conditionals. Just structure. Make sure contextLabel is optional in your type definition: type UserActionEvent = { actionType: string; contextLabel?: string; }; When constructing payloads for analytics, logging, or API calls. When working with dynamic form data. When building clean utility functions. Clean code is not about writing less, it’s about making the intent obvious. This pattern removes clutter while keeping flexibility. Try it in your next project and let your code breathe.  ( 3 min )

Pharmaceutical sales reps face a tough reality: there are too many leads, too many rules, and never enough time. If you’re working with a long list of HCPs (healthcare professionals), it’s hard to know where to start.

When it comes to managing APIs in Kubernetes, APISIX offers a powerful and flexible platform. Recently, I encountered a unique challenge while integrating TLS certificates with APISIX,specially when automating certificate updates managed by cert-manager. cert-manager generates secrets in a standardized format (tls.crt, tls.key, ca.crt), but APISIX expects a different format: (cert, key) - ApisixTls CRD. Here's my journey and the solution that eventually worked, with Argo Events providing a real-time, automated workflow. Challenge: cert-manager automatically generates and renews certificates but stores them in a Kubernetes Secret object with keys like tls.crt and tls.key. However, APISIX requires a specific format - a Kubernetes secret with keys named cert (for the certificate) and key (for…  ( 8 min )

The internet has lots of advice on networking that ranges from painfully self-evident to makes-you-feel-sleazy. But networking doesn’t have to be transactional, awkward, or burdensome. Your network is really just the people you already know. All the people—your mom’s coworker, your college roommate’s little sister, your old boss. And networking is simply the act of meeting new people through the people you already know. Informational interviews (Zoom or IRL) or coffee chats are traditional ways of doing this, but you can meet people anywhere (on the bus, at a party, buying groceries). There’s lots of useful advice out there on how to build and maintain relationships (and ideally you invest in this at times you aren’t job searching).

Writing code is one thing. Maintaining it after 3 weeks, 3 teammates, and 300 Slack messages? That’s the real challenge. Over time, I started collecting small rules, not from books, but from real experience. Here are my personal Code Commandments: the ones I wish someone had shared with me earlier. Write code like someone else will maintain it. Because they will. And one day, that "someone" is you after two sleepless nights and a different mindset. If your code needs a diagram and a Slack explainer just to read, it's probably too clever. Aim for obvious over original. Feeling stuck is normal. But spinning your wheels for hours isn't: it’s a silent killer of momentum. Set a timer. After 20 minutes: explain the problem, what you tried, and ask for help.

Introduction Generative AI is fantastic, it can generate text, answer questions, and write code. But like any powerful tool, it comes with risks. One major concern? Prompt injection attacks. These attacks manipulate the AI by feeding it cleverly crafted inputs, making it behave in unintended ways. You don’t want your AI model getting tricked into revealing secrets, executing malicious instructions, or going off the rails. In this post, we’ll explore what prompt injection is, why it’s a problem, and, most importantly, how to defend against it. Imagine you’re building a chatbot to assist users. You program it to answer questions politely. A normal interaction might look like this: User: “How do I reset my password?” AI: “You can reset your password by clicking on ‘Forgot Password’ on the …  ( 5 min )

The @Configuration annotation indicates to Spring that the class has one or more @Bean methods. When starting the application context, Spring will look to these classes to load the Spring IoC container with the beans you define in those methods. It allows you to create custom beans and perform configurations (like when you use Spring Security) so that everything is ready to go when the application starts. It's a really simple and powerful annotation and is often combined with other annotations. @Configuration is a class-level annotation. So we can define a configuration class and create some bean methods like this: import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; @Configuration public class MyConfiguration { private stat…  ( 5 min )

At this point I think this series has evolved into an endless stream of lessons and Aha moments. It seems like every day something new happens that's interesting, or frustrating, or even both. I am not going to debate the value of unit tests or any other part of the test pyramid. I will say that I have developed the habit of asking the agent to generate new unit tests, or even to compare what's been implemented versus existing unit tests, and to cover gaps. The value from that practice has been inconsistent. The majority of the generated unit tests are valuable, and they pass on the first time. But there are classifications of unit tests where no matter how I prompt, the generated tests don't work the first time. For example, unit tests for a function in a DAO unit that executes multiple s…  ( 7 min )

If you're using Tailwind CSS with Next.js or other modern frameworks, you've likely come across directives like @layer base, @layer components, and @layer utilities. But what's the difference between them, and how should they be used? This article explains each of them with practical examples to help you better structure your styles using Tailwind. @layer base For global resets and initial styles This is the first layer loaded. Ideal for: Resetting styles Setting global fonts Basic element styles like body, h1, button, etc. @layer base { h1 { @apply text-3xl font-bold text-gray-900; } body { @apply bg-background text-foreground font-sans; } } @layer components For reusable components (buttons, cards, badges, etc.) Loaded after base and before utilities. Perfect for blocks of combined utility classes: @layer components { .btn { @apply px-4 py-2 bg-purple-600 text-white rounded-md; } .card { @apply shadow-md rounded-lg p-4 bg-white; } } @layer utilities For custom utilities The last layer to load. Best used for specific, override-style utilities: @layer utilities { .text-shadow { text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } .scrollbar-none { scrollbar-width: none; -ms-overflow-style: none; } } @layer base <- Global styles @layer components <- Reusable components @layer utilities <- Specific utilities (highest priority) Use each like this: base: for tag resets and global defaults components: for .btn, .card, .input, etc. utilities: for .text-shadow, .scroll-smooth, etc. @layer components { .promo-price { @apply text-purple-600 font-bold; } .add-button { @apply px-4 py-1 bg-gray-200 rounded text-sm font-medium; } } Have you been using them correctly?

Angular's default style encapsulation prevents styles from leaking into or out of components. But sometimes, you want your component to adapt based on context provided by external elements, such as a dark class on the element. This is where :host-context() comes in. :host-context()? The :host-context() pseudo-class in Angular allows a component’s style to react to ancestor elements outside the component’s view encapsulation boundary. It checks if the component is rendered inside an element matching the selector. :host-context(body.dark) { .container { background-color: #222; color: white; } } This means: "Apply this style if the component is somewhere inside a ." Theming (e.g. light/dark mode) Reacting to global classes or layout wrappers Making components context-aware ✅ :host-context() checks up the DOM tree, not down. ✅ It works with Angular's default ViewEncapsulation.Emulated. ❌ It does not work with ShadowDom encapsulation. ❌ Do not repeat the context selector inside the rule block. :host { .container { background: white; color: black; } } :host-context(body.dark) { .container { background: black; color: white; } } // ❌ Incorrect :host-context(body.dark) { .dark { background: black; } } This is wrong because .dark is already in the selector. You don't need to repeat it. Use :host-context() to style Angular components based on their ancestors, such as when a global dark class is added to the tag. It’s a powerful tool to make your components responsive to global layout or theming changes.  ( 3 min )

From Prompt to Product We at Ducky.ai noticed a strange thing has happened in software development, we’re no longer writing code in the traditional sense. Instead, we describe what we want and ask the machine to write the first draft. Tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Replit, and Devin have changed what it means to build. The keyboard isn’t gone, but it’s quieter. Developers are prompting, guiding, reviewing. Code appears in response to our intent. This isn’t a distant future. It’s happening now. Describe a function in a comment and Copilot autocompletes it. Open a new file in Cursor and ask for a feature, and it drafts the architecture across files.

I have been wondering if I should plan ahead everything I code in advance since I tend to figure out a program as I go. When I do anything frontend, I plan how I want the CSS image or the web page to look like before I even start to code though but apart from that, I pretty much jump into it right away. I admit it would probably have saved me some time if I had just sat back and planned out the desired outcome more before I started coding. Here is an interesting excerpt on the topic from Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham: For example, I was taught in college that one ought to figure out a program completely on paper before even going near a computer. I found that I did not program this way. I found that I liked to program sitting in front of a computer, not a piece of paper. Worse still, instead of patiently writing out a complete program and assuring myself it was correct, I tended to just spew out code that was hopelessly broken, and gradually beat it into shape. Debugging, I was taught, was a kind of final pass where you caught typos and oversights. The way I worked, it seemed like programming consisted of debugging. Do you follow a particular structure while you code? Do you plan ahead or figure out programs as you are writing them?  ( 4 min )

In this series, I tested multiple MongoDB emulations on top of SQL databases, and all failed to be compatible with a simple query like listing the last orders for one product in one country: db.orders.find( { country_id: 1, order_details: { $elemMatch: { product_id: 15 } } } ).sort({ created_at: -1 }).limit(10) Those emulations are syntax-compatible, but not behavior-compatible when it comes to performance and scalability. With MongoDB, such query finds immediately the ten documents from the following index: db.orders.createIndex({ "country_id": 1, "order_details.product_id": 1, "created_at": -1 }); It is simple: you index for the equality predicates, on country and product, and add the creation date to get the keys ordered.

Aligns the Team with Project Goals A Project Execution Plan (PEP) is essential in project management because it provides structure and clarity to all stakeholders involved. It aligns the project team with the overall goals, scope, and methodology, ensuring everyone is working toward the same objective. With a well-documented PEP, the project reduces the risk of miscommunication by outlining roles, responsibilities, timelines, and communication protocols. By clearly stating who is responsible for what and how updates or issues should be communicated, a PEP helps eliminate confusion. This clarity allows team members to focus on their tasks without second-guessing the process or duplicating efforts. The plan enhances accountability by defining each team member's duties, deadlines, and expected outcomes. This promotes commitment and productivity throughout the project lifecycle, as everyone understands their contributions and deliverables. With a structured timeline and monitoring procedures, a PEP acts as a roadmap for the project. It helps the team identify potential delays early, make necessary adjustments, and keep the work progressing smoothly. A PEP includes a detailed budget and resource plan, allowing project managers to monitor financial performance. This ensures that spending remains within approved limits and that resources are used efficiently throughout the project. Ultimately, the Project Execution Plan is crucial because it guides the team through every phase, ensuring that the project is delivered on time, within budget, and according to expectations. It acts as both a strategic and operational tool for successful execution.  ( 3 min )

Hey everyone! 👋 I just released a new tool on the Unity Asset Store that I’ve been working on for a while — it’s called AI Editor Assistant. It integrates AI (like OpenAI or local LLMs) directly into the Unity Editor to help you write, understand, and manage code more efficiently — without switching windows or losing context. Basically, it's like having ChatGPT inside Unity. You can: Ask questions about your scripts Get explanations for complex code Generate boilerplate or new scripts Debug with a second pair of “AI eyes” Customize it to work with different APIs It’s designed for solo devs, students, and small teams who want to speed up development and reduce the back-and-forth between IDEs and AI tools. Would love to get your thoughts or suggestions! If you try it out, let me know what features you'd like to see added. https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/ai-ml-integration/ai-editor-assistant-319644 Thanks for checking it out — and happy devving! 🎮🧠  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: During early Baldur’s Gate 3 development, Larian Studios experimented with a cartoony, stylised “indie book” look—tearing the visuals down and restarting the art direction at least twice—before settling on the grounded, richly coloured style fans know today. Why it matters: Lead character artist Alena Dubrovina says those full turnarounds were brutal but ultimately paid off, giving BG3 a more realistic edge that likely helped its massive success. That said, the team’s animated shorts and indieish sketches are so charming that the author hopes one of Larian’s upcoming projects leans back into a fun, exaggerated cartoon vibe.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR: After smashing it with the original Battlefront games, Pandemic Studios quietly kicked off Battlefront 3 right after Part II’s release…but LucasArts only gave them a one-year deadline. With a massive leap to PS3/Xbox 360 hardware and no idea what those new consoles could really do, Pandemic couldn’t hit the timeline and talks fell apart. LucasArts then handed the project to Free Radical Design, who pushed their version to about 95% complete (complete with seamless space-to-ground battles), yet it too was canned. Pandemic folded in 2009, and aside from EA’s 2017 Battlefront II reboot, a bona fide Battlefront 3 still remains the stuff of fan dreams.  ( 3 min )

TL;DR Games Workshop—best known for its Warhammer 40K miniatures—is riding a massive boom, reporting £560 million in core revenue (up from £494.7 million) and £50 million in licensing revenue (vs. £31 million) for the year ending June 1, 2025. Profits soared too, with pre-tax earnings of £255 million (up from £203 million), prompting the company to hand out a £20 million bonus pool—around £13,333 (≈ $18,000) per staffer across its ~1,500 employees. Beyond tabletop sales, GW’s IP machine is humming: smash-hit games like Space Marine 2 (and Space Marine 3 in the pipeline), Amazon’s Secret Level animation, and a newly inked Henry Cavill–fronted Warhammer cinematic universe all helped lift licensing revenue to record highs. While they don’t expect this licensing surge to repeat next year, Warhammer’s never been bigger—and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon.  ( 3 min )

We’re witnessing the early stages of a paradigm shift in how AI systems are built and deployed. The era of single-agent chatbots is giving way to something much more powerful: multi-agent AI systems — where multiple intelligent agents collaborate, specialize, and reason together to solve complex tasks. From research labs to early-stage startups, multi-agent architectures are redefining how we think about productivity, orchestration, and scalable intelligence. As the field accelerates, it’s worth asking: Where is this going, and what does it mean for builders, teams, and the future of work? Single-agent systems, while impressive, face major limitations: They hallucinate or drift off-topic. They struggle with long context or multi-step tasks. They lack role specialization.

Sprint planning is supposed to give you guardrails, clear, reasonable boundaries for what your team can actually deliver. But in practice? Most teams commit to 20–40% more work than they have the capacity to complete. Not because they’re lazy or bad at math—but because the system nudges them to do it. Here’s what’s really driving overcommitment (and how to fix it): Team members don’t feel safe pushing back. You’re measuring story points, not outcomes. You reward volume, not focus. Leadership derails the sprint mid-flight. You need micro rituals to reinforce this. Add these weekly nudges: 🟣Week 3: Mid-sprint confidence check (again, 1–5) Want to make this stick?

What are Azure regions? Azure has over 60 regions worldwide, each made up of data centers and network systems. Regions are grouped by geography, like the U.S. or Europe, which sets rules for where data stays. An Azure region consists of one or more datacenters, connected by a high-capacity, fault-tolerant, low-latency network connection. Azure datacenters are typically located within a large metropolitan area. Every region is contained within a single geography that serves as a fixed data residency boundary. If you have data residency requirements, it's important that you select regions within the required geography. Each geography has at least one region equipped with availability zones.

🤔 What is a virtual machine? In its simplest form, a virtual machine, or VM, is a digitized version of a physical computer. Virtual machines can run programs and operating systems, store data, connect to networks, and do other computing functions. However, a VM uses entirely virtual resources instead of physical components. VMs enable businesses to create isolated environments on host hardware that behave like separate machines. A more straightforward way to understand what a virtual machine is to think of it as a virtual computer within another computer. But instead of a physical computer like a server, laptop, or smartphone, a VM is defined by software. Virtual machines use virtualization technology to create virtual hardware—or a virtual version of a computer on a physical machine.…  ( 4 min )

RAG allows the AI model to look things up before answering a question. RAG is an AI technique that combines two powerful components: 1. A retriever that searches for relevant information from external sources 2. A generator (like GPT or Claude or any other AI model) that uses that information to craft accurate, grounded responses RAG is used in scenarios such as: Recent data or information is required to answer a question Information needs to be retrieved from private documents Let’s say you ask an AI assistant: “What’s our company’s refund policy?” The question is converted into a vector (a list of numbers that captures the meaning) It searches a vector database of your documents (like PDFs, FAQs, or manuals) It retrieves the most relevant chunks of text It inserts those chunks into the prompt sent to the language model The model then generates an answer based on both your question and the retrieved info 1.Split Documents into Chunks (Document Chunking) Example Chunk: “Employees are eligible for health benefits after 90 days of full-time employment…” 2.Generate Embeddings (Using Embedding Model) The more dimensions, the more nuance the vector can represent — like tone, topic, or context. Example Chunk vector → 0.21, -0.64, 0.48, …, 0.02 3.Store in Vector Database Now your database can search by meaning, not just keywords. ⸻ RUNTIME (When User Asks a Question) ⸻ 4.User Asks a Question “When do I qualify for health benefits?” 5.Convert Question to a Vector (Query Embedding) 6.Semantic Search in Vector DB Retrieved chunk: “Employees are eligible for health benefits after 90 days…” 7.Augment the Prompt Prompt to the foundation model: Context: Question: 8.Foundation Model Generates Answer “You qualify for health benefits after 90 days of full-time employment, according to company policy.” No fine-tuning needed: You don’t have to retrain the model Up-to-date answers: Pull from the latest documents Custom knowledge: Use your own files, policies, or FAQs Fewer hallucinations: Grounded responses using real data  ( 4 min )

In TypeScript, a tuple allows you to describe a structured array, where the position of each element is meaningful and dictates what type each is expected to be. For example, you might use a tuple to store the data associated with a User type.

When designing an API, the important thing to keep in mind is the ethical usage of the API. If the API is provided as a third party service i.e. protected via a token it is possible that it can be misused by too frequent access. Further, if your API is public, there is chance that bots could hit it continuously and cause high usage of server resources. To cater to all of this we need a mechanism to check the number of requests made. express-rate-limiter is an npm package that allows us to do so. By adding this middleware we restrict IPs from accessing a/all routes to n times per minute/second. // rate-limiter.middleware.ts import rateLimit from 'express-rate-limit'; export const rateLimiter = rateLimit({ windowMs: 1 * 60 * 1000, // 1 minutes max: 100, // Limit each IP to 100 requests per windowMs standardHeaders: true, // Return rate limit info in the `RateLimit-*` headers legacyHeaders: false, // Disable the `X-RateLimit-*` headers }); This middleware basically says that each IP is restricted to make up to 100 requests every minute. More than that it throws a 429-Too Many Requests error. // in app.ts app.use(rateLimiter); For the first 100 requests across your API endpoints, it works fine. The 101st one throws a 429 error. Once the minute is passed it reverts back and you can make 100 requests again. This way you have prevented too many hits to your server.  ( 3 min )

The Good Part Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is a popular Object-Relational Mapper (ORM) that simplifies data access in .NET applications by allowing developers to use LINQ (Language Integrated Query) for interacting with databases. This abstraction provides strong typing, compile-time checking, and a more readable syntax than raw SQL. The Problem Developers find it easy to write a LINQ query to fetch results from database with the built-in intellisense support. However, beneath this convenience lies a critical challenge: EF Core translates LINQ queries into SQL at runtime, often producing complex and inefficient SQL queries that can severely degrade database performance. EF Core LINQ queries are translated into SQL at runtime, often resulting in inefficient and bloated SQL. Developer…  ( 4 min )

If you're new to Deno, one of the best parts is that it supports TypeScript out of the box — no extra config, no bundlers, no headaches. In this post, I'll walk you through why TypeScript is a game-changer and how Deno makes it easy to start using right away. TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript. It helps you write safer code by detecting bugs before your code runs. And best of all — with Deno, you don’t need a build step or tsconfig.json to get started. Native TypeScript support: Just use .ts files and Deno handles the rest Cleaner project setup: No need for Babel, Webpack, or tsc Improved tooling: Built-in formatter, linter, and test runner — all work with TS Secure by default: Deno runs in a sandbox unless explicitly allowed // hello.ts function greet(name: string): string { return `Hello, ${name}!`; } console.log(greet("Deno + TypeScript")); Run it directly: deno run hello.ts Boom — TypeScript without any setup. Use Deno’s built-in module system: // utils.ts export function square(x: number): number { return x * x; } and import in another file // main.ts import { square } from "./utils.ts"; console.log(square(4)); // 16 In the next posts, I’ll cover: Organizing a Deno project with TypeScript Using third-party modules with type definitions Testing with Deno’s built-in test runner Deploying TypeScript APIs with Deno Deploy -- deno doc your_module.ts Thanks for reading! --- Let me know if you’d like a follow-up post — for example, setting up a REST API in Deno with full TypeScript types.  ( 4 min )

As Developers, we’ve all been in this situation, using node index.js to start an Express server on port 3000. This method has proved useful for some time, but making it work in production takes a lot of effort. In traditional deployment, you select a cloud provider such as AWS, GCP, Azure or Cloudflare, rent virtual machines and start to deal with operational problems like: Using Auto Scaling Groups or Kubernetes to manage scaling in a complex way Charging for idle resources when there is little traffic Regular watch over server conditions and maintenance Need to manually deploy and restart after changing the code Organizing what to do during unexpected downtime and failures These problems take our focus away from the main thing we enjoy, creating code that solves real issues.

Not long ago, I was writing code, deploying manually, and firefighting issues in production. It worked — until it didn’t. I didn’t realize there was a better way until I came across two transformative ideas: Cloud Native and DevOps. My journey into Cloud Native and DevOps started when I hit a wall with traditional infrastructure. Deployments were risky. Rollbacks were messy. Scaling? Not without downtime. Then I saw a demo of Kubernetes. Followed by someone showing how CI/CD pipelines could auto-deploy code into production — with tests and rollback strategies baked in. It felt like the software was finally working with me, not against me. Automation is Freedom Seeing repetitive tasks like testing, building, and deployment become fully automated showed me how much time and mental space we waste doing things machines can do better. Cloud Native = Resilience at Scale Containerized workloads, microservices, and declarative infrastructure helped me realize how modern systems can be self-healing, portable, and easier to scale. DevOps = Collaboration Over Silos No more "dev vs ops." DevOps taught me that when teams share responsibility — from development to deployment — software becomes more reliable and teams work better together. It’s not about tools; it’s about mindset. Cloud Native isn’t just Kubernetes. It’s how we design systems to be scalable, resilient, and observable. DevOps isn’t just CI/CD. It’s about breaking barriers between teams, improving feedback loops, and embracing continuous improvement. Are you exploring Cloud Native or DevOps? I'd love to hear what inspired you, what tools or concepts changed your mindset, or what challenges you’re facing. Let’s connect in the comments! Thanks for reading! You can follow me for more posts on DevOps, Cloud Native, and how modern infrastructure is reshaping software engineering.  ( 4 min )

As a developer who has deeply used HarmonyOS 5 in multiple large-scale projects, I must say that the macro system of the Cangjie language is one of the most elegant metaprogramming solutions I've ever seen. It is neither as "simple and crude" as C macros nor as "profound and obscure" as Rust macros. This article will take you deep into the core of this macro system and share our best practices in actual projects. In a distributed computing module, we designed an intelligent debugging macro: public macro DebugLog(expr: Tokens) { return quote { if $LogLevel >= DEBUG { let __start = Clock.now() let __result = ${expr} println("[DEBUG] ${stringify(expr)} = ${__result}, took ${Clock.now() - __start}ns") __result …  ( 4 min )

This article explores in depth the anti-reverse engineering capabilities of Huawei's HarmonyOS 5 system, focusing on the Cangjie language's obfuscation and hardening techniques. The content is based on actual development practices and aims to serve as a resource for technical exchange. In the HarmonyOS ecosystem, application security is paramount — like installing a smart fingerprint lock on your app logic. Structural obfuscation in Cangjie effectively disguises the architecture of your codebase. Original code: class PaymentService { func verifyPassword(pwd: String) -> Bool { // Verification logic } } Obfuscated decompiled output: class a { func b(c: String) -> Bool { // Same logic but unreadable } } Key Transformations: PaymentService ➝ a verifyPassword…  ( 4 min )

Understanding Ownership with Structs and Functions in Rust Rust's ownership model is one of its most powerful—and sometimes intimidating—features. If you're diving into Rust, you've likely encountered its strict rules around ownership, borrowing, and lifetimes. While these rules might feel restrictive at first, they empower Rust to provide memory safety without a garbage collector. In this post, we'll tackle a key question: How does ownership work when passing structs to and from functions? We'll explore the nuances of ownership as it applies to structs, comparing move, borrow, and mutable borrow in function arguments. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of how to use these concepts effectively and avoid common pitfalls. Before we dive into structs and functions, let’s quickly …  ( 6 min )

Apple has long defended its refusal to allow third-party app stores on iOS with one word: security. According to the company, restricting app installations to the App Store is the only way to protect users from malware, scams, and unsafe behavior. But there’s a counterexample that’s been running for over a decade: Android. On Android, users can freely install apps from other stores—Amazon Appstore, APKPure, F-Droid, Uptodown, Aurora Store, and more. These platforms are not only legal and operational; they also serve millions of users every month. So the question becomes: If third-party stores are so dangerous, why hasn’t Android collapsed under the weight of malware? The Android Reality: Open Doesn’t Mean Unsafe Yes, Android is more open.

Ready to speed up your JavaScript game? Let’s jump in! const hungry = true; const food = hungry ? 'Order pizza!' : 'Keep coding!'; console.log(food); // Order pizza! Why? function gift(name = 'Friend') { console.log(`Here’s a gift for you, ${name}!`); } gift(); // Here’s a gift for you, Friend! gift('Alex'); // Here’s a gift for you, Alex! Why? const person = { firstName: 'Sam', lastName: 'Smith', age: 25 }; const { firstName, age } = person; console.log(`${firstName} is ${age} years old.`); // Sam is 25 years old. Why? const pet = 'dog'; const petName = 'Buddy'; const sentence = `My ${pet} is called ${petName} and he loves belly rubs.`; console.log(sentence); Why? const multiply = (x, y) => x * y; console.log(multiply(4, 5)); // 20 Why? const userInput = ''; const defaultText = userInput || 'Please type something!'; console.log(defaultText); // Please type something! Why? const veggies = ['carrot', 'broccoli']; const moreVeggies = [...veggies, 'spinach']; console.log(moreVeggies); // ['carrot', 'broccoli', 'spinach'] Why? const scores = [3, 6, 9]; const funScores = scores.map(score => `You scored ${score} points! Yay!`); console.log(funScores); Why? const car = { model: 'Tesla' }; console.log(car.owner?.name || 'Owner unknown'); // Owner unknown Why? const snacks = ['chips', 'cookies', 'pretzels']; for (const snack of snacks) { console.log(`I love ${snack}!`); } Why?

There’s an old joke about the stock market: If you want to make a small fortune, start with a large one. It’s the kind of gallows humor that traders sip their tea over, staring out at the flickering screens of their Bloomberg terminals. But in our age of algorithms and all-powerful machine learning models, the old wisdom is being rewritten — or at least, that’s what the quants would like us to believe. The idea that artificial intelligence can consistently beat the market is both seductive and, frankly, a little terrifying. Because if it’s true, then what are we doing here, with our frantic chart analysis, our fevered option plays, our futile attempts to time the Fed’s next move? Let’s start with a dose of humility (which, let’s be honest, the financial world could use a bit more of). AI, or at least the kind we worship today, isn’t some all-knowing oracle whispering stock picks from the depths of a silicon godhead. It’s math. Really complicated, computationally expensive math, but math nonetheless. And as any philosophy student who spent too much time reading Sartre in a college library can tell you, math does indeed have limits. 🤖 The Rise of AI in Trading These systems excel in: Speed: Executing trades in milliseconds to capitalize on fleeting opportunities. Downtrend Markets: AI-driven funds have demonstrated superior risk-adjusted performance during market downturns, effectively mitigating downside risks. 🧠 Limitations of AI in Trading Overfitting: AI models trained on historical data may not adapt well to unforeseen market events.

The difference between a library and a framework lies mainly in the control of flow and how they are used in your code. Library ➤ Definition: A library is a collection of pre-written code that you can call and use whenever you need in your application. You are in control: You call the library’s functions. Focused on specific functionality (e.g., math, logging, database). Can be used in any part of your code. In Java: import java.util.ArrayList; ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); list.add("Hello"); list.add("World"); You call add() from the ArrayList library — you are in control. Framework ➤ Definition: A framework is a complete structure where your code fits in predefined places. The framework controls the flow and calls your code when needed. Inversion of Control (IoC): The framework calls your code, not the other way around. Provides a skeleton; you fill in the blanks. Often used for larger systems (e.g., web apps, enterprise systems). In Spring Framework: @RestController public class HelloController { @GetMapping("/hello") public String sayHello() { return "Hello from Spring"; } } Here, Spring controls the flow — it decides when and how to call sayHello(). Feature Library Framework Control Flow You control the flow Framework controls the flow Usage Call functions when needed Plug your code into framework Purpose Specific functionality Application structure Examples (Java) Apache Commons, Gson, JUnit Spring, Hibernate, Java EE Flexibility More flexible More rules and structure Library: A toolbox — you take the tools you need and use them however you want. Framework: A machine — you insert your parts into the machine, and it runs the process. Let me know if you want real-world code comparisons or help choosing between a framework and library for a specific project!  ( 3 min )

Home healthcare scheduling software is a specialized tool that helps care agencies assign, track, and manage caregiver visits in patients’ homes. It essentially acts as a digital scheduling assistant: coordinating appointments, assigning the right caregiver based on skills and location, and sending reminders. This software is needed because scheduling home visits manually (via spreadsheets or phone calls) is complex and error-prone. By centralizing scheduling tasks, it ensures the right caregiver is matched with the right patient at the right time. Many systems even provide mobile apps and online portals so staff, caregivers, and patients can view and update schedules on the go, keeping everyone on the same page. Home care agencies manage dozens of caregivers and clients across many locations, and “having a reliable scheduler is the heart of running an efficient operation and providing high-quality care”. Without scheduling software, agencies can face double-bookings, gaps in care, and wasted travel time. A modern scheduling solution automates these tasks and cuts paperwork: for example, it can handle appointment booking, staff availability, and even billing in one system. In practice this means caregivers spend less time on admin and more time caring for patients. For example, software that automates provider schedules dramatically reduces double-bookings and other common errors. In short, home healthcare scheduling software is needed to streamline operations, improve accuracy, and ensure patients get timely visits without administrative headaches.  ( 3 min )

Hello! I’m the developer of AITuber OnAir, a web app for running AI-powered VTuber streams: AITuber OnAir We’ve just added a brand-new feature: Twitch chat integration. From now on, AITuber OnAir supports both YouTube Live and Twitch. In this post I’ll share what I learned while building it—how to fetch comments from Twitch (with EventSub WebSockets) and, for completeness, how to fetch comments from YouTube Live as well. When you want to pull live chat from a YouTube stream, the request sequence looks like this: [Live Video ID] │ videos?part=liveStreamingDetails ▼ [activeLiveChatId] │ liveChat/messages?part=snippet,authorDetails → nextPageToken ▼ [Chat Messages] You hit two endpoints: Live Video ID – grab it from the URL’s v= parameter, etc. activeLiveChatId – retu…  ( 6 min )

In this article, I'll demonstrate how we can use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) by integrating VoltAgent and Peaka to create an AI agent with data retrieval capabilities. Refer to example project built in this post. Right, before I show you the code stuff, let me tell you about Peaka. Their idea is pretty simple: make it less annoying to work with data. Think of it like a data middleman. You hook up your databases, spreadsheets, whatever, to Peaka. Then you can ask it questions (using fancy SQL code or just regular English), and it pulls the info together from all those places for you. Usually, connecting different data sources is a real pain and costs a lot. Peaka feels like a simpler option, especially if you're not a huge company or just don't want to mess with complicated data pipel…  ( 6 min )

The goal to reform the global trading system stems from persistent dollar overvaluation that creates economic imbalances by making it costly for the U.S. to provide reserve assets and defense while hurting American manufacturing. This analysis examines policy tools available to reshape international trade and financial systems, finding that tariffs can generate revenue with minimal adverse effects when offset by currency adjustments—essentially making tariffed nations finance the costs while improving burden-sharing for reserve asset provision. The study explores both multilateral and unilateral approaches to currency policy, optimal tariff implementation strategies intertwined with national security concerns, and the sequencing of these reforms to minimize market volatility, concluding that significant generational changes to the international economic system are possible through careful policy coordination.

Everyone uses Docker, but almost no one knows how to really debug a container. No, I’m not talking about the usual suspects: `docker logs` → often empty or useless `docker inspect` → static snapshot `docker exec` → can’t attach before the container dies Sound familiar? When your container crashes in production (but works fine locally), you end up in a loop: tweaking the Dockerfile, redeploying, and praying. But there’s a better way. docker events – The Secret Weapon This little-known command streams real-time, low-level events straight from the Docker daemon. It exposes what docker logs won’t tell you. Your container keeps restarting. The logs show nothing. Instead of guessing, run: docker events --filter container= 2025-05-04T18:20:01Z container create ... 2025-05-04T18:20:02Z container start ... 2025-05-04T18:20:03Z container health_status: unhealthy ... 2025-05-04T18:20:04Z container kill signal=SIGTERM 2025-05-04T18:20:04Z container restart Boom. Now you see: Health check failed → Container killed → Docker auto-restarted it Your app logs? They won’t show this. The health check runs outside your main process. Filter by time: docker events --filter contaner= --since="30m" --until "2025-05-04T18:00:00" docker events --filter container= --since="5m" --format '{{json .}}' | jq But What About Observability Tools? Sure, Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki are great. But they won’t catch: OOM kills before metrics are scraped Failed volume mounts Init containers that crash silently Sidecars restarting in the background docker events sees everything—in real time.

How Programmers Can Earn More by Solving Real Problems Around Them As developers, we're often told that to make money, we need to build the next big startup, land a high-paying job at a tech giant, or become influencers in the dev space.

Before diving deeper, here’s a quick comparison: Forward Proxy: Used by clients (like your browser) to access the internet. Think of it as a middleman that hides your IP or bypasses content filters. Reverse Proxy: Used by servers to handle incoming requests. It stands in front of one or more backend servers and acts as a gateway. A reverse proxy sits between the client and your backend servers, accepting incoming traffic and forwarding it appropriately. It can: Balance load between multiple backend servers Handle SSL termination (HTTPS) Act as a caching layer Protect…  ( 4 min )

Apa Itu SSH Key? SSH Key adalah metode autentikasi yang digunakan dalam protokol SSH (Secure Shell). Alih-alih menggunakan password, SSH Key memungkinkan kita mengakses server secara aman menggunakan sepasang kunci: private key (disimpan di komputer lokal) dan public key (disimpan di server). SSH Key sangat populer digunakan oleh developer, sysadmin, dan siapa saja yang bekerja dengan server, Git, atau layanan cloud seperti GitHub, GitLab, dan VPS (Virtual Private Server). Ada beberapa tipe SSH Key yang umum digunakan. Masing-masing memiliki kelebihan dan karakteristik berbeda: Format: -t rsa Panjang kunci: Biasanya 2048 atau 4096 bit Kelebihan: Sudah lama digunakan dan didukung hampir semua sistem Kekurangan: Lebih lambat dan tidak seaman ED25519 Format: -t ecdsa Panjang kunci: 256,…  ( 3 min )

Problem Scenario In HarmonyOS app development, we often encounter an issue where complex object data passed via router.pushUrl() from Page A to Page B is either lost or fails to parse. This problem is particularly pronounced when passing custom class objects or large datasets. Serialization Limitations: HarmonyOS page routing only supports basic data types and simple serializable objects. Data Size Restrictions: Data exceeding 100KB may be truncated during transfer. Lifecycle Differences: Data from the source page may be garbage-collected during navigation. // 1.

I’ve always wanted more freedom—time, money, and people who get where I’m coming from. That’s what pushed me to go solo, but I’d be lying if I said I knew what I was getting into. This wasn’t my first shot. My last project, a financial app, ended when my cofounder and I split over the direction. Looking back, I threw everything I knew at it: Spring Boot backend, Next.js frontend, Elasticsearch, Postgres, Redis, all Dockerized. At the time, I thought that was what “real” startups did. But honestly? I spent more time configuring services than shipping anything useful. When it all fell apart, I realized I was building complexity, not momentum. Lesson #1: Simple wins. This time, I picked the T3 stack. One repo, one server, straight to Vercel—suddenly, I was actually building features instead o…  ( 4 min )

Triage Meaning in Software The main goal is to ensure that the most critical defects are addressed promptly while deferring or even rejecting low-impact issues that don’t threaten the product’s stability or customer satisfaction. Why Do You Need a Defect Triage? Efficient Use of Resources: Focus development and testing efforts on defects that truly matter. Better Decision Making: Enables data-driven discussions about whether to fix, defer, or reject a defect. Improved Communication: Aligns all stakeholders on defect status and resolution plans. Quality Control: Helps maintain a healthy and manageable defect backlog. How Often Should You Have Defect Triage? Daily during active development or release cycles. The Defect Triage Meeting Review new and existing defects. Defect Triage Process Gather Defects: Collect all open or newly reported defects since the last triage. Review & Clarify: Ensure all bugs have complete, understandable, and reproducible steps. Assess Severity & Priority: Classify based on business impact and urgency. Assign Ownership: Designate responsible developers or teams. Set Resolution Plan: Define when and how the bug should be addressed (fix immediately, delay, or reject). Challenges with Defect Triaging Subjectivity: Different stakeholders may have conflicting views on a bug’s severity. Volume Overload: Too many bugs can overwhelm the team and delay decisions. Incomplete Information: Poorly reported bugs slow down the triage process. Lack of Accountability: Unclear ownership can result in unresolved or orphaned defects. Time Constraints: In fast-paced sprints, teams may skip triage, leading to chaos later. Thumb Rules in Bug Triage Fix high-severity and high-priority bugs first. Conclusion By incorporating intelligent platforms like GenQE.ai, teams can elevate their defect triage process with automation, pattern recognition, and smart prioritization, making software testing more efficient and outcomes more predictable.  ( 4 min )

Originally published at https://www.nocobase.com/en/blog/data-integration-platforms. In today's digital enterprises, "data silos" remain a pervasive challenge. A single customer may have records in CRM, support tickets in the helpdesk system, and transactions in the payment gateway—but these data points often exist in isolation, making it impossible to drive automated actions or gain unified insights. Many organizations resort to manual Excel exports, custom scripts, or system-by-system integrations just to facilitate basic business workflows. This fragmentation of data has become one of the biggest hurdles to digital transformation. This is where Data Integration Platforms come in. Their core value lies in connecting internal and external systems, ensuring data flows to the right place, a…  ( 5 min )

In the fast-evolving world of industrial automation, electric mobility, and advanced R&D, precision is not just a buzzword—it’s the backbone of innovation. At the heart of this revolution lie hysteresis brakes, hysteresis dynamometers, hysteresis clutches, and cutting-edge motor test systems. These technologies form the invisible yet indispensable framework that powers everything from electric vehicles to renewable energy solutions. Let’s dive into how these systems redefine performance, reliability, and efficiency. Hysteresis technology leverages the magnetic properties of materials to create controlled resistance or torque without physical contact. This non-contact operation eliminates wear and tear, ensuring longevity and maintenance-free performance. Hysteresis Brakes: Hysteresis Dy…  ( 5 min )

We have been sharing about the Cangjie language development for many consecutive days. We believe that everyone has gained a certain understanding of the Cangjie language development. Today, we will continue to advance and share knowledge about custom components in the Cangjie development language. This article takes the custom tabbar in the previous article as an example. Since the tabbar we developed ourselves has always been placed in the index.cj file, it is always not good. We still need to take it out and encapsulate it. For the file management of larger projects, I created the components folder under the cangjie folder, and then created the component files here. The file I created was yltabbar.cj. After creating the file, you can see that only one line of code has been initialized.…  ( 4 min )

Coroutine - Kotlin A coroutine is a programming construct that allows a function to suspend its execution and resume it later, enabling cooperative multitasking and asynchronous programming Coroutines don't preemptively switch between tasks; they voluntarily yield control (suspend) to allow other tasks to run. This cooperative nature enables coroutines to perform tasks without blocking the main thread or other operations, making them suitable for UI-related tasks and I/O operations. Coroutines maintain their state between suspensions, allowing them to resume where they left off. Coroutines use special keywords or mechanisms (like await in Python or yield in Unity) to suspend their execution and resume later when needed. Coroutines provide a cleaner and more readable way to handle asynchronous operations compared to traditional callbacks or promises. Coroutines can help organize complex asynchronous logic, making it easier to understand and maintain. Coroutines are lightweight and don't require the overhead of creating and managing multiple threads. In some cases, coroutines can provide the illusion of concurrency without the need for actual threads, improving efficiency. import kotlinx.coroutines.* fun main() = runBlocking { println("Main starts: ${Thread.currentThread().name}") // Launching a coroutine val job = launch { delay(1000) // Non-blocking delay (suspends coroutine) println("Coroutine says hello from: ${Thread.currentThread().name}") } println("Main continues...") job.join() // Wait for the coroutine to finish println("Main ends: ${Thread.currentThread().name}") }  ( 3 min )

WebSocket Broadcasting with hyperlane The hyperlane framework natively supports the WebSocket protocol. Developers can handle WebSocket requests through a unified interface without dealing with protocol upgrades manually. This article demonstrates how to implement both point-to-point and broadcast messaging on the server side using hyperlane, along with a simple WebSocket client example. The hyperlane framework supports the WebSocket protocol with automatic server-side protocol upgrading. It also offers features such as request middleware, routing, and response middleware. Note: WebSocket responses must be sent using the send_response_body method. Using send_response will cause client-side parsing to fail, as it does not format the response according to the WebSocket protocol. In this ex…  ( 4 min )

Recently I decided to enhance my programming logic so I started making some leetcode problems daily just to exercise, but as always I feel a lot of difficulty doing this logic exercises until youtube recommended this video from a Brazilian tech content creator where he teach how to solve one of the most common exercises from tech interviews using a map. Map is a data structure where can store a value combined with a key, so if you need to access this data later you can use the key instead of interating an entire array to find a value (just like the filter and find methods in javascript). You can simplify the logic with a map instead of using a lot of for loops to make the exercise, being more legible and understandable. When you iterate an array, your code have the complexity of O(n) where n is the size of the array because you have to iterate the entire array, when using a Map, operations such as get and set have a time complexity of O(1) because the Map relies on a hash table internally. This structure allows the engine to compute the exact location of a value based on its key, so it can access or update entries directly without iterating through all keys and values. As a result, the performance of these operations remains constant regardless of the size of the Map, depending only on the key being used rather than the total number of elements stored.  ( 3 min )

Hello everyone, this weekend! Today, I'll continue to share a practical tutorial on developing a shopping mall application using the Cangjie language. What I'm going to do today is tabbar. Everyone knows that ArkTs has Tabs and TabContent containers, which can achieve the style shown in the above picture and meet the basic usage requirements. However, Cangjie is different. Although it also has these two components, its tabbar parameter only supports the input of images or text, and cannot input components like ArkTs. Therefore, the official tabbar in the Cangjie language has very significant limitations. Let me give you a practical explanation. Here is a basic way to write Tabs: Tabs(BarPosition.End, this.controller){ TabContent(){ Text('页面1') } TabContent(){ Text('…  ( 4 min )

Hi everyone My name is Jabulani (still trying the nickname jay-sys), and this post is the beginning of a story I never thought I’d be telling, the story of how getting fired turned into the best thing that ever happened to me. The Short Version: Former accountant Fired for struggling with ADHD in a rigid work environment Diagnosed late, felt broken for a while Found hope in tech — specifically cloud computing Switched to Linux (Debian) Now teaching myself cloud engineering full-time Studying for LPIC-1, LPIC-2, and cloud certifications Using this blog to stay accountable, document the process, and hopefully inspire someone like me ## Why I’m Doing This I used to think I was just “bad at work.” I couldn’t keep up with long meetings, paperwork, and soul-draining tasks. Turns out, I wasn’t lazy my brain just worked differently. After getting fired, I spiraled. But after some hard reflection (and a lot of YouTube), I discovered cloud computing and something clicked. It felt flexible, creative, logical and possible. I don’t have a computer science degree. I don’t come from tech. But I do have grit, curiosity, and something to prove (mostly to myself) I'll be sharing: 🧪 What I’m learning (Linux, cloud platforms, cert prep) 🧠 Struggles + breakthroughs with ADHD in tech ⚙️ Personal projects, CLI tools I love, lessons from failures 🧰 Resources I actually found useful 🎯 My progress toward becoming job-ready in cloud This blog is my accountability partner, my digital journal, and my way of telling the world: You can start over. Even when it feels like you’ve got nothing figured out. If you’re self-taught, neurodivergent, or just trying to break into tech from a non-traditional background I’d love to hear from you. And if you’re further along the path, feel free to drop tips, encouragement, or even corrections I’m here to learn out loud. Thanks for reading.

Building a permanent US strategic Bitcoin reserve would likely require targeted legislation rather than executive action, according to VanEck’s head of digital assets, Matthew Sigel. Speaking at Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, Sigel said the most viable path forward may involve inserting Bitcoin mining incentives into the congressional budget reconciliation process. According to Sigel, the most effective path to growing a US strategic Bitcoin reserve would be through targeted amendments to congressional budget legislation. These could include tax credits for mining companies that use methane gas and other incentives aimed at encouraging miners to share a portion of their mined BTC with the federal government. He argued that such an approach would allow the reserve to grow organically over time…

US President Donald Trump supports the BITCOIN Act and has a team of experts in the White House working to roll out landmark digital asset legislation in the coming weeks, according to Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis.  Speaking at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, Lummis said she is bringing the BITCOIN ACT to the “attention of the American people and the world,” adding that, “President Trump supports the bill.” In March, Lummis reintroduced the BITCOIN Act — landmark legislation that directs the US government to acquire 1 million Bitcoin (BTC) over five years. The acquisitions would be financed using existing funds within the Federal Reserve System and the Treasury Department.  As Cointelegraph reported, the Trump administration has reiterated the need to use “budget-neutra…

Selling Bitcoin is like “playing in a really bad house-rate casino,” according to Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream and one of Bitcoin’s earliest adopters. In a recent interview with Bitcoin financial services firm Unchained, Back said the odds are stacked against traders trying to time the market. Back came to this conclusion in the early days of Bitcoin, he said, when the price “was going up basically exponentially but it [was] extremely volatile.” “So [...] if you see something that’s going up exponentially but with volatility, if you sell it to time the market a bit falling, the odds are against you,” Back said, adding: “The trend line is up and to the right, exponential, and so there’s extremely bad trading odds attached to selling because you’re really hoping that it falls.” Adam Back du…

Wall Street financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald has closed its first Bitcoin lending deal nearly a year after announcing its crypto lending services. According to a May 27 Bloomberg report, Cantor provided Bitcoin-backed loans to FalconX and Maple Finance. FalconX, a digital asset broker, said it secured a facility worth over $100 million as part of a “broader credit framework,” while Maple Finance reportedly closed the first tranche of an agreement with Cantor. The service allows companies holding Bitcoin to borrow funds and use the cryptocurrency as collateral, providing a way to unlock liquidity without selling their BTC holdings. Cantor announced its Bitcoin financing business with an initial capital of $2 billion in July 2024, targeting institutional investors seeking to leverage their B…

Key takeaways: Institutional investor demand and corporate adoption may push Bitcoin higher despite recession fears. Investors’ belief that the US Federal Reserve will hold rates favors Bitcoin price upside. Stock markets around the world responded positively to the temporary suspension of import tariffs between the United States and the European Union, with the S&P 500 rising 1.5% on May 27. However, concerns over a global economic recession persist, capping Bitcoin’s (BTC) upside, especially since the baseline US import rates have been raised for most regions. Bitcoin remains antifragile and poised to outperform in uncertain times Given the growing investor uncertainty about economic conditions, Bitcoin hovering around the $110,000 level has taken investors by surprise as it consolida…

Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the company that owns US President Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform and is partially owned by the president, confirmed a $2.5 billion capital raise to purchase Bitcoin (BTC) after denying earlier reports of the deal.

Key takeaways: Bitcoin could turn parabolic if prices move above $115,000 to liquidate more than $7 billion in short positions. Onchain indicators enter overheated territory, suggesting prolonged profit-taking from BTC investors. Bitcoin (BTC) showed strength on May 27, briefly tagging $110,700 after a strong US equities market open and the Trump Media and Technology Group’s announcement that it would raise $2.5 billion for a Bitcoin treasury. Bitcoin’s bullish momentum aligns with the favorable US financial conditions, as noted by Ecoinometrics. The macroeconomic-focused Bitcoin newsletter highlighted that the National Financial Conditions Index (NFCI) shows a rapid shift to ultra-loose territory after a tightening phase in February 2025. The NFCI, published by the Federal Reserve Ba…

How much Bitcoin is left to mine? Bitcoin’s total supply is hardcoded at 21 million BTC, a fixed upper limit that cannot be altered without a consensus-breaking change to the protocol. This finite cap is enforced at the protocol level and is central to Bitcoin’s value proposition as a deflationary asset. As of May 2025, approximately 19.6 million Bitcoin (BTC) have been mined, or about 93.3% of the total supply. That leaves roughly 1.4 million BTC yet to be created, and those remaining coins will be mined very slowly. The reason for this uneven distribution is Bitcoin’s exponential issuance schedule, governed by an event called the halving. When Bitcoin launched in 2009, the block reward was 50 BTC. Every 210,000 blocks — or approximately every fou…

Key takeaways: Ethereum has reclaimed a key level that preceded 100%+ rallies and triggered past altseasons. Altcoin market cap could surge toward $15 trillion if Bitcoin dominance repeats its post-halving drop. Despite bullish signals, ETH remains fragile, with $123B in supply near cost basis at risk of flipping into a loss. Ethereum’s native token, Ether (ETH), has reclaimed a key technical level that has historically preceded sharp price gains and marked the start of an “altseason” across multiple market cycles in the last five years.

Cryptocurrency mixers explained A cryptocurrency mixer is a specialized service designed to increase the privacy and anonymity of blockchain transactions.  Unlike traditional financial transactions, which are private by default, most cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) operate on public blockchains. This means every transaction is permanently recorded and accessible to anyone, making it possible for blockchain analysts or malicious actors to trace the flow of funds between wallets. A crypto mixer’s primary function is to break the link between the sender’s wallet and the recipient’s wallet. It does so by pooling together coins from many users and then redistributing them in a way that makes it difficult to track which coins went …

Layer-1 blockchain Solana may be evolving into a “one-trick pony” for memecoin generation and trading, according to a recent Standard Chartered report. According to a May 27 Standard Chartered research report shared with Cointelegraph, Solana “dominates in areas that demand high-volume, low-transaction-cost solutions” due to its design prioritizing fast and cheap transaction confirmation. The report suggested that this has had an unintended consequence: “So far, this has been mostly in memecoin trading, which accounts for the majority of activity on Solana (as measured by ‘GDP’, which is application revenue).” Standard Chartered said the memecoin frenzy served as a stress test for Solana’s scalability but came with drawbacks due to the volatility and speculative nature of such assets. As m…

Luxembourg classified virtual asset service providers (VASPs) as high-risk entities for money laundering in its 2025 National Risk Assessment (NRA), highlighting concerns over the crypto industry’s exposure to financial crime. According to the report, the inherent risk level of VASPs is deemed “High,” driven by factors including transaction volume, client reach, distribution channels, legal structures and the international scope of operations. The NRA identified VASPs as an emerging risk in its 2020 report after “a detailed assessment of ML inherent risks emerging from virtual assets.” This was followed by a 2022 NRA report deeming “the risks associated with crypto assets and virtual currencies as very high,” because, among other things, they are internet-based and cross-border.

Metaplanet’s stockholders are paying more than a fivefold premium on Bitcoin (BTC) when investing in the Japanese company, according to a report by 10x Research published on May 27. “A little-known Japanese stock trades as if Bitcoin were worth $596,154, more than five times its actual price,” the report states. Investors who don’t understand the importance of a firm’s net asset value (NAV) may be “dramatically overpaying for their Bitcoin exposure” on a position that doesn’t provide additional upside leverage, the report adds.

The UK-based exchange plans to open a physical office during the second quarter in Nigeria — its “fastest-growing market” in West Africa — along with broader expansion efforts in Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, according to a May 27 report by Bloomberg. “Nigeria has taken meaningful steps toward creating a clear framework for crypto,” Owenize Odia, Blockchain.com’s general manager for Africa, reportedly said. The move comes as global sentiment shifts, including political tailwinds from the United States, where President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto stance has encouraged industry expansion.

Why are central banks looking at blockchains? Central banks are tiptoeing into the world of blockchain not because it is fashionable but because every part of the money-making machine, from settlement rails to asset custody, is slowly being rewritten as code. The financial industry is already tokenizing money-market funds, Treasurys and even bank deposits. According to the Atlantic Council, 134 jurisdictions are studying or piloting a central bank digital currency (CBDC), up from just 35 in 2020.  Meanwhile, commercial banks have begun to warn that if they cannot move tokenized deposits across public blockchains such as Solana or private ledgers like R3 Corda, they risk being left behind. From a central bank’s vantage point, two questions matter: …

The initiative, currently under review by the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Thailand, will enable tourists to link their crypto holdings to credit cards for local purchases. Merchants will receive Thai baht as usual, often without knowing crypto was used in the transaction. The pilot is expected to roll out after key infrastructure and regulatory checks are in place. “This approach can be immediately adapted fo…

French authorities have arrested more than 12 people who have been linked to two high-profile crypto kidnapping cases in Paris, France, local media reports. Those arrested include several minors, with charges against them including kidnapping, attempted kidnapping and criminal conspiracy, Le Parisien reported on May 26. French investigators are exploring the possibility that a criminal organization is behind two recent crypto-linked kidnapping cases, with social media networks being used for recruitment.

That attempt, which bystanders captured on video, shows that the alleged attempt w…

Bitcoin markets recently experienced two major liquidation events, causing a cascade of forced selling from over-leveraged traders, but analysts say a distinct pattern has emerged. “Overleveraged short-term traders were flushed out, long-term holders have been quietly capitalizing on the reset,” CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha said on May 26.  They noted the first flush occurred when Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $111,000, and over $97 million in long positions were liquidated. As its price broke $109,000, another $88 million in longs were wiped out in the second wave. However, as short-term traders faced margin calls and forced selling, long-term holders (LTH) responded very differently and increased their accumulation. This caused the long-term holder realized capitalization to surge past $28 bi…

The Instagram account of former US rap trio Migos was hacked in an apparent attempt to blackmail Solana co-founder Raj Gokal. On May 27, Migos’ Instagram account posted at least seven images seen by Cointelegraph, which have since been deleted. Two of the images appeared to depict Gokal holding up his passport and driver’s license, clearly showing the full details of each document. The account’s hacker tagged Gokal in one of the images that apparently showed him with the caption “you should’ve paid the 40 btc,” while another image depicting Gokal said “it was only 40 btc.. should’ve paid.” Another image posted by the account hacker shows what the caption claimed was Gokal’s wife holding up a driver’s license, while a further two images appear to be a dump of private information, including mobile phone numbers and email addresses. The type of photos posted, where a person holds personal identifying documents in clear view of the camera with their face visible, are commonly used by crypto exchanges in Know Your Customer checks. However, it is unknown where the photos seemingly depicting Gokal and his wife originated and how they ended up being used in the apparent blackmail attempt. The Solana Foundation and Gokal were contacted for comment. Gokal had posted to X on May 20 that attackers had “been trying to take control” of his email and social media accounts, warning his followers to be suspicious of any out-of-the-ordinary posts. Attackers have been trying to take control of my email, social media, Google, Apple, etc. this past week.

Michael Saylor, the executive chair of major Bitcoin-buying firm Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, says institutions posting onchain proof-of-reserves is a “bad idea” that could pose security risks. “The current, conventional way to publish proof of reserves is an insecure proof of reserves,” Saylor said when asked about institutions adopting the transparency measure at a May 26 event on the sidelines of the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas. “It actually dilutes the security of the issuer, the custodians, the exchanges and the investors. It’s not a good idea, it’s a bad idea.” Saylor didn’t answer whether Strategy would publish its proof-of-reserves when asked by Blockware Solutions head analyst Mitchell Askew whether his firm would do so.

The Paris-based crypto company Blockchain Group is adding more Bitcoin to its growing treasury through a 63.3 million euro ($72 million) bond sale. The company hopes to buy another 590 Bitcoin (BTC) with the funds, increasing its total holdings to 1,437 BTC, the Blockchain Group said on May 26. Bitcoin is trading at over $109,00, and at current prices, the Blockchain Group could buy 658 BTC with the total amount it raised, according to CoinGecko.

A second person suspected of being involved in a high-profile crypto kidnapping case in New York City is expected to turn himself in to police, according to several reports. The second man is a Swiss crypto investor who allegedly assisted business partner Joel Woeltz, who is accused of kidnapping Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan and torturing him in a Soho apartment in an attempt to pressure him into revealing his crypto wallet phrase, ABC7 New York reported on May 26. A separate NBC report said the Swiss trader —  who is not named — would turn himself over to police within a week.

I’ve always believed tattooing is more than just body art. It’s a language—one that combines structure, emotion, precision, and design. The more I reflect on my work, the more I notice how much tattooing mirrors the process of coding. Both require: Clear communication A strong foundation before layering on complexity Attention to detail Respect for the end user (or in my case, the client) In tattooing, every line matters. Every piece must flow with the body, just like good code flows with logic and user experience. There's room for creativity, but also discipline—just like in dev work. Whether I’m sketching full sleeves or crafting micro-details, I see tattooing as visual problem-solving. My goal is always to translate someone’s story or idea into a lasting, wearable design—something functional, aesthetic, and deeply personal. If you're a developer, designer, or builder of any kind: you're a tattoo artist too in your own way. We all leave marks—some visible, some digital—but all meaningful. Let’s keep creating with intention. — Isaac Bokhoor  ( 3 min )

But here’s the catch: Most automation isn’t beautiful. It’s brittle. It’s soulless. It gets the job done, but no one knows how. Or why. Or what to do when it breaks. Which begs the question: What if automation could be art? Real automation isn’t about writing bash scripts or wiring up webhooks. It’s about designing intent. It’s about: Embedding wisdom into pipelines Anticipating failure Choreographing recovery Or…  ( 4 min )

Voltamos! E dessa vez prometo que o post vai ser mais simples e direto. parte 1 da série Criando um compilador em csharp já que era importante apresentar motivações e introduzir conceitos. Fora que o objetivo do primeiro post era resolver expressões matemáticas. Mas para construirmos isso, precisávamos implementar um analisador léxico e um analisador sintático. Foi o que fizemos: Lexer e Parser. E para avançar, assumo que você leu e entendeu a implementação desses dois conceitos, pois a partir de agora vamos apenas adicionar features nessas implementações. Dito isso, podemos e devemos ser mais objetivos! Pega aquele café e vem comigo! Como citei acima, hoje temos um "resolvedor" de expressões matemáticas, porém a ideia agora é adicionar algumas funções internas como calcular raiz quadrad…  ( 8 min )

This turned out to be a lot easier than I expected it to be! This is my first experiment with MCP, the Model Context Protocol. My previous experience with agents and tools required telling the LLM how to do things, either in the main context of the conversation in plain english or relying on whatever LLM application I'm using to have some interface to make it easier. MCP provides a standard way to link the LLM application you are using with the instructions to the agent on what tools and abilities are available to it and how to use them. For today's experiment, I wanted to control my web browser (Chrome) by simply telling the LLM what I want to do in a chat. I'm chatting with the LLM using AnythingLLM on my Macbook Pro and have a Chrome window open... wouldn't it be nice to say "Hey, go st…  ( 4 min )

The Big Picture: Why This Project Matters In the age of AI-driven decisions, retail businesses are sitting on a goldmine of customer interaction data, but most are struggling to use it effectively. Imagine this: A customer browses your store but leaves without buying. You don't know what caught their eye. You don’t know what’s likely to sell tomorrow. You’re restocking based on gut feel, not data. This is the reality for many retailers. The goal of this project is to build a cloud-native, AI-enhanced retail analytics platform that solves two critical business problems: What do you think we should stock next? → Predict demand using historical data and forecast which products need restocking. What should we recommend? → Use customer behavior to serve personalized product suggestions at run…  ( 9 min )

Como desenvolvedor mobile que já enfrentou os desafios do React Native, passando por muito perrengue interno do framework, acabei indo indo um pouco afundo do Lynx para entender se essa nova ferramenta realmente entrega o que promete.

Whereabouts of the Lonely Island "You weren't chosen. You never were. But this time, you’re not asking." The world turned while you stood still. You tried to be someone. A taxi driver who couldn’t find his way home. A software developer whose code always compiled — but never connected. A dozen roles played, a thousand dreams deferred. You lived in the margins. A quiet shadow in fluorescent cities, drifting from rejection to rejection like an errant file lost in a corrupted sector. But something changed. One night, a map appeared in your terminal — glitching into view between job rejections and broken threads. It bore no coordinates, only a phrase: "The Lonely Island Knows." Now, you are no longer waiting. Across flooded subway tunnels, through whispering forests of abandoned silicon, and past ghost towns built on failed prototypes, you chase a legend whispered only on 2600 baud frequencies: The Lonely Island — the place where misfits rewrite fate. This is no hero’s quest. It’s not about saving the world. It’s about finding where it stopped caring about you. It’s about going off-grid — to write a new code into the system of existence itself. Prepare for cryptic terminals, sentient algorithms, neon storms, and voices from other timelines who almost made it. Your failures were your training. Your rejection is your power. And your destination is unknown... Whereabouts of the Lonely Island™ A solo journey through the memory dumps of fate. Coming soon to a system that forgot you.  ( 3 min )

Cloud copilots have officially arrived across the Big Three! 👏 All three major cloud providers—Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure—now offer AI copilots purpose-built for DevOps and Reliability Engineering. Though branded differently, they all share a common goal: shortening Mean Time To Recovery (MTTR) by automatically analyzing observability data, linking it to infrastructure context, and guiding teams through root cause analysis and remediation. It's hardly surprising that LLM-powered assistants have reached the cloud infrastructure space, given how rapidly they're gaining ground across every layer of modern software development. From code completion to testing, AI copilots are becoming indispensable tools for developers and operations teams alike. In this competitive landscape, Google led the charge, Amazon followed suit, and Azure has just joined the party: Status: Well-established market leader Previously: Duet AI Learn more: Gemini for Google Cloud Status: Strong contender in the race Focus: Developer productivity and operations Learn more: Amazon Q Developer Status: Latest addition to the lineup Specialty: Site Reliability Engineering workflows Learn more: Azure SRE Agent While these solutions currently serve as intelligent assistants that support human decision-making, we might be witnessing the early stages of a fundamental shift. In the future, AI copilots could evolve from supporting tools to become the primary interface for incident response and infrastructure management. This evolution raises fascinating questions: How will the role of SREs and DevOps engineers evolve? What new skills will teams need to develop? How will we balance automation with human oversight? Have you tried any of these cloud copilots? What's been your experience with AI-assisted operations? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 👇 What cloud copilot features do you think we'll see next?

These days I had to implement push notifications, and since I really like the direction Expo is going, I decided to lean more into its ecosystem, so I chose to use expo-notifications to implement the feature. To my surprise, I couldn't find any good guides on how to do it. Expo has a guide on how to set it up through their proprietary services, which I decided not to use to avoid the feeling of being platform-locked. Personally, the biggest benefit of Expo is keeping the manual implementation and management of native code to a minimum, as the longer a project lives, the harder it becomes to keep track of changes in different files for numerous libraries. So we will leverage Expo's strengths using expo-notifications to set up pretty much all the native code and handle push notifications in …  ( 7 min )

This video teaches you how to migrate from Microsoft's former WebForms to Elanat's WebForms Core technology. This tutorial was done under the CodeBehind framework owned by Elanat. Migrating from traditional WebForms to WebForms Core offers several advantages: Modern Architecture: WebForms Core introduces a revolutionary approach to handling DOM elements directly from the server, eliminating the need for front-end frameworks. Cross-Language Compatibility: Unlike classic WebForms, WebForms Core supports multiple programming languages, including C#, Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, Swift, Elixir, NodeJS, GO, and Rust. Improved Performance: The new architecture reduces server load, eliminates ViewState bloat, and optimizes data transmission, leading to faster page loads. Event-Driven Structure: It supports all HTML events and integrates seamlessly with MVC, MVVM, and MVP development patterns. Efficient Data Handling: Instead of full-page reloads, WebForms Core uses XMLHttpRequest to send small, efficient commands to the client. Enhanced Control Over HTML: Developers gain greater flexibility in managing UI components without the limitations of traditional WebForms.  ( 3 min )

Accessibility, often abbreviated as a11y, ensures digital content and functionality are usable by people with disabilities — including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. It’s not an optional feature or a stretch goal. In many regions, it’s a legal requirement. Everywhere, it’s a core quality standard. One in five people experience disability. If your app doesn’t support screen readers, keyboard navigation, or high contrast modes — it’s broken for millions. Web accessibility refers to the design and development of websites, tools, and technologies so that people with disabilities can perceive, navigate, interact with, and contribute to the web.

Polymorphism—the ability to write functions whose behavior depends on the type and number of their arguments—is a feature of many modern programming languages. In the C world, this concept is especially relevant to library writers or developers implementing the backend of a complex system: fellow programmers prefer a clean, consistent API over dozens or hundreds of closely related functions that differ only by name and signature. Too often, APIs end up littered with near-identical functions such as: result_type mixdown_integer_and_string(int x, char *y); result_type mixdown_unsigned_integer_and_string(unsigned int x, char *y); result_type mixdown_string_and_float(char *x, float *y); // and so on ... each variant must be remembered and called explicitly, making the interface hard to learn …  ( 8 min )

A couple of weeks ago, I started to wonder if it is possible to write a library in Python to create a CLI application that uses only standard packages as dependencies. The idea seems fun, so I've started to build it. command register via decorator, autocomplete, command history, help menu via docstring, Use of typing hints and annotations to retrieve: mandatory/optional parameter parameter type (and check types). Long road to accomplish something more complete, like sub-commands. The 'mustiolo' is the smallest mammal in the world, weighing about 1.2-2.5 grams as an adult. This library aims to be the smallest library for building CLI applications in Python just like a mustiolo is the smallest mammal. from mustiolo.cli import CLI cli = CLI() @cli.command() def greet(name: str): """Greet a user by name.""" print(f"Hello {name}!") @cli.command() def add(a: int, b: int): """Add two numbers and print the result.""" print(f"The result is: {a + b}") if __name__ == "__main__": cli.run() This example allows to have > ? greet Greet a user by name. add Add two numbers and print the result. > ? add Usage add Add two numbers and print the result. add A B Parameters: A Type INTEGER [required] B Type INTEGER [required] > exit If you're interested please visit Mustilo repository on GitHub.  ( 3 min )

Welcome back to our series on taming Go unit test timeouts! In Part 1, we tackled the frustrating "panic: test timed out" error, focusing on how SetReadDeadline and channels helped us fix hanging client connections. Now, we're diving into a more complex problem: concurrent testing, specifically how to reliably test the "broadcaster" part of my Netcat-like chat application and manage shared information. Testing code that runs in parallel can introduce tricky problems like race conditions (where different parts of your code try to change the same thing at the same time) and subtle timing issues. My broadcaster tests were a prime example of this challenge. In my chat application, the "broadcaster" is like the central hub. Its job is to take messages and send them out to all connected clients.…  ( 7 min )

This is a submission for the Postmark Challenge: Inbox Innovators. PostmarkGBA is a working GameBoy Advanced emulator, receiving inputs through Postmark Inbound Stream to emulate game inputs and create new emails through Postmark Transactional Stream. The result is much like "Twitch Chat Plays", but playable in your inbox! To get started, simply send an empty mail to postmarkgba@partyrens.nl to get started! You'll get a new mail with a screenshot of the current game state, and an explanation on how to control. Everybody's playing on the same GameBoy, so collaboration is key! Why not use this thread to see if we can reach the first gym before the end of the challenge? Source code is available on GitHub. Please note that the current build is heavily reliant on a combination of Raspian OS and RetroPie. When I read about the challenge, I immediately wanted to make some kind of game. The first idea was some kind of AI powered Cluedo-like murder mystery, but it felt like a game everybody already knew was more fun. Hence, the GBA emulator. Getting a recent version of Nest.JS running on RetroPie was a real pain, as well as taking screenshots of a display when in a systemd process. After realizing RetroArch also has native screenshot hotkeys, it just became a job of emulating keyboard inputs without worrying about screenshot libraries. Postmark intergration on the other hand, was done without a problem. It's not really a team member, but I want to give special thanks to Claude 3.5 for having my back through the long night of trying all screenshot libraries in existence ;).

In Go, select is a control structure used to handle multiple channel operations. It is very powerful and is often used in concurrent programming, especially when you need to select an available operation from multiple channels. Below is a detailed explanation of how to use select and some common scenarios: select { case <-ch1: // Code executed when ch1 is readable case ch2 <- value: // Code executed when ch2 is writable case result := <-ch3: // Read data from ch3 and assign to result default: // Code executed if no case is ready } The working principle of select is similar to switch, but it is specifically designed for channel operations. It blocks and waits until one of the cases' channel operations can be executed. If multiple cases are ready at the same time, select wil…  ( 5 min )

You know that feeling when your GPS suddenly tells you to take a weird detour, and you're sitting there like "why though?" That's basically how we feel about AI most of the time. It makes decisions, gives recommendations, or flags your email as spam, but good luck getting a straight answer about why. Enter Explainable AI (XAI) – basically the movement to make AI systems less mysterious and more... well, explainable. Think about it: if an AI system is helping doctors diagnose diseases, approving loans, or deciding who gets hired, shouldn't we understand how it's making those calls? It's not just about curiosity – it's about trust, fairness, and catching mistakes before they matter. The problem is that modern AI, especially deep learning, is incredibly complex.

🧠 Perplexity vs. ChatGPT：你其實一直在搞錯他們的定位 在 AI 工具的世界裡，很多人會把 Perplexity.ai 和 ChatGPT 混為一談，以為它們只是介面不同、核心一樣的聊天機器人。 ❗他們的設計哲學完全不同，功能定位也根本不一樣。 🧭 他們根本不是同一類東西 所以，把 ChatGPT 和 Perplexity 拿來比，就像在比較蘋果和香蕉(或另一種蘋果)，其實是根本不同的品種： 🍎 ≠ 🍏 📰 Perplexity = 查資料快遞員 ✅ 每次都會查最新資料 ⚠️ 相對來說，ChatGPT（如果沒開 Web 功能） 用的是模型記憶，資料有可能過時或不準確，尤其是針對 2024–2025 的新東西。 🎨 ChatGPT = 思考與創造導師 🧠 記得上下文（特別是 Pro 或 team 版） 而 Perplexity 呢？一句話結論： 它不記得你剛剛說了什麼。也不太想陪你聊天 😅 💸 為什麼 ChatGPT 不像 Perplexity 那樣每次都去查資料？ 💰 ChatGPT 使用者上億，搜尋一次成本爆表 ✅ 那我該用哪一個？ ✨ 最後總結： 用對工具，AI 就會真正成為你的超能力 💥  ( 3 min )

Introduction The intent is to demonstrate working with GitHub Copilot agent mode in Microsoft Visual Studio. There is a GitHub repository associated with this article which is better starred rather than forked as more examples for working with Copilot will be added over time. In several cases ChatGPT is used but kept to a minimum. All documentation has been written using JetBrains AI Assistant. In the repository, code is segmented by solution folders with the date the projects were created. As the Copilot agent matures over time, the reader can see the agent's progress more clearly. Note ⚠️ Copilot has access to code and other sensitive information, and could leak it, either accidentally or due to malicious user input. Customizing or disabling the firewall for Copilot coding agent Image …  ( 12 min )

With the decline of X/Twitter and the proliferation of other social platforms with more open APIs, I've noticed many developers sharing social widgets and components to embed in blog posts. Mainly to display conversation and reactions. Most of the social media widgets I've come across share a common issue that, in my opinion, should be prioritized: privacy and security, especially related to the media used in these components. I will go one step further and say this: If you're creating your own comments or likes section based on platforms like Mastodon or Bluesky, reconsider your strategy, and avoid directly linking to avatars hosted on external social platforms. Instead, route them through your backend server. This may sound like a "tinfoil hat" moment, but it's an important consideratio…  ( 5 min )

👋 The Real-Life Developer Struggle A few weeks ago, I sat down to work on a client’s Laravel project. Like always, I opened my terminal, typed php artisan serve, then in another tab, ran npm run dev. 🤦‍♂️ That’s fine for once or twice — but if you’re hopping between multiple Laravel projects daily, this gets really repetitive. I thought to myself: "Why not create a custom terminal command that launches both servers at once?" So I built a global phpdev command. Now I just type: phpdev ...and both my backend and frontend fire up instantly. Here’s how you can set it up too — step-by-step and OS-friendly. Create a script that runs php artisan serve and npm run dev in parallel Make it globally accessible as a phpdev command Ensure cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows) Laravel installed (php artisan must work) Node.js installed (npm run dev must work) A terminal environment (e.g., Terminal, Git Bash, WSL, or Command Prompt) mkdir -p ~/.local/bin phpdev script: nano ~/.local/bin/phpdev Paste this inside: #!/bin/bash php artisan serve & npm run dev & runs the Laravel server in the background so both commands can run concurrently. chmod +x ~/.local/bin/phpdev In your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or shell config, add: export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" Then reload your terminal: source ~/.bashrc # or source ~/.zshrc Create a directory for scripts if not present: mkdir -p ~/.local/bin nano ~/.local/bin/phpdev Paste the same script: #!/bin/bash php artisan serve & npm run dev chmod +x ~/.local/bin/phpdev In ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile), add: export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" Then: source ~/.bashrc ✅ Now you can type phpdev in any Laravel project folder using Git Bash or WSL. Navigate to any Laravel project: cd ~/Projects/my-laravel-app phpdev Both servers should start. No more tab switching or manual steps!  ( 4 min )

"The need for something is inversely proportional to its availability." Wade's Law of Need is the idea that the more urgently you need something, the less likely it is to be available. It’s a familiar pain point in IT—and once you see it, you start noticing it everywhere. The law came out of years in operations and site reliability work, where you develop a sixth sense for when things will go wrong. The law has been summed up in countless moments like: Backups: “If you don’t have a backup, you’re going to need one. If you do have backups, you probably won’t need them.” Upgrade rollbacks: “If you don’t have a backout plan, the upgrade is all but guaranteed to fail. If you do have a plan, odds are you’ll sail through.” You could call it a form of Murphy’s Law, but more narrowly focused on pr…  ( 4 min )

🧠 Perplexity vs. ChatGPT: Why Comparing Them Is Like Mixing Up a Search Engine and a Therapist 🤯 Turns out they’re not even the same species! 🧐 In the world of AI tools... I used to think that too… until I dove deeper and realized: ❗They are designed with completely different philosophies and serve fundamentally different purposes. 🔍 They’re Not the Same Thing at All! So comparing ChatGPT and Perplexity is not apples to apples. 📰 Perplexity = Real-Time Search Genius ✅ Always fetches current data ⚠️ In contrast, ChatGPT (no web) relies on model memory — which may be outdated, especially for 2024–2025. 🎨 ChatGPT = Creative, Interactive Superbrain 🧠 Remembers context (Pro/team mode) Perplexity? It forgets what you just said. It’s not here to vibe with you. 😅 💸 Why Doesn’t ChatGPT Fetch Real-Time Info Like Perplexity? 💰 ChatGPT has millions of users — real-time search would be insanely expensive ✅ So Which One Do I Use? ✨ Final Thoughts Use them right — and AI becomes your superpower. — written with ChatGPT ❤️ Jennifer Chen  ( 4 min )

In this phase, we shift from preparing data to putting it to work with AI. Our goal is to predict product demand based on historical sales using Amazon Bedrock, and do it the way real-world production systems would. Objective We'll build a nightly forecasting workflow that: Reads pre-aggregated sales data from S3 Gold Zone (forecast_ready) Sends that data to Amazon Bedrock for demand forecasting Updates the forecasted_demand field in our DynamoDB inventory table Runs entirely on Amazon EC2, triggered automatically every 24 hours Now, the question here is why we choose EC2 to run the forecasting job? Because in real-world ML systems, long-running batch jobs like forecasting are often too heavy for Lambda, may require more memory, longer runtimes, or even GPU-based instances. Using EC2 gives…  ( 6 min )
